we're doing fine for now... the main databases are Oracle 10g, we're 
testing 11g now, and have been moved from big Sun Solaris boxes to big 
IBM Power AIX boxes.    A production server in Thailand I was just doing 
performance monitoring on has 16 x 3Ghz CPUs on a Power 750 (w/ 4 
threads per core) and 96GB ram, and was humming along just fine, once I 
convinced the local operations folks that one of our newer software 
components needed its queue files on different disks than the main 
oracle DB.   Kinda scary watching 64 CPU threads all running at 50-75% 
and 20 different SAN LUN's humming at 50% write bandwidth, and realizing 
the system was working just fine.   This particular logical server (its 
a hardware partition or LPAR on a larger box) is running what 
traditionally was 2 seperate systems, so we can unload it back onto two 
systems if needed, and also scale each systems several times larger each 
without getting into architectural limitations, just buy cutting big 
checks for more capital equipment.

CentOS gets used extensively in the middleware layer, btw.
