Barry and Craig,
Thanks for your answers. This helps a lot. Is there anything that RH 4
ES or AS can do that Centos 4.4 is unable to perform. Then it looks
like Centos is just as stable as ES or AS, and the support will probably
be better on this list than calling RH.
I was considering migrating an application from SCO to RedHat, and now
it looks like Centos would even be better.
