With all of the Linux Distros in the great WWW sea, a decision to roll with one in particular can be tough.
Three main focal-points must align for a distro to really deliver:
- Usability: Can the whole team, even the 'Windows Professionals' navigate and utilize the distro easily?
- Stability: Has the distro made it through the enterprise guantlet, remaining fast, secure and solid?
- TCO: Total Cost of Ownership. Need I say more?
Whether or not the voting has finished at Linux Journal me and my homies know where the bling bling is...
If you think about it, Cent OS is the manifestation of what the Open Source Community has, and continues to stive for, in every area of computing. Cent OS delivers a high-quality, complete, enterprise-level product, made available to everyone and formed from the efforts of the community.
Aiming to be a 100% binary compatible and built directly from the publically available SRPMs, it shows! This distro is nothing shy of an exact replica of one of the most powerful OSs available in the world; and should we expect anything less
"CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork."
As completely functional, stable and powerful as the purple sombrero counterpart, Cent OS delivers the highest quality Enterprise level OS available today. So if you're scratching your head over the thousands of distros, and not sure what would fit the aforementioned three focal-points best, look no further than Cent OS
As my contribution and in an effort to promote this incredible Open Source OS. I have created a wallpaper which also makes a great CD Label here. Rating: 
And That's my 50 cents
