Both CentOS and Ubuntu server installs take as long for me. Are you
comparing similar levels of install?!

(I think that your reply about Fedora is about a post where two people
are shocked that I'm supporting Fedora in production. In that
particular company, it's just a loyalty and familiarity issue,
although I'm sure that if I migrated to CentOS, for example, the DBA'd
wine about versions and what have you. Also, I've found server
installs of the latest versions of Fedora and Ubuntu stable; it's when
you add X and a DE that you can end up with issues.)
