1. There is a decent selection of software for CentOS / RHEL. Especially
commercial software. If you are brave, many Fedora Core 3 packages will work
on CentOS 4. However, if you are looking for the newest mp3 player or latest
version of bzflag, fedora will most likely have it, CentOS won't.
2. There's a much smaller CentOS user base (I suspect). However, the HUGE
amount of documentation, training classes, and info on the web about RHEL
applies directly to CentOS.
