Would you say the same if you had to herd several hundred desktops? I
really do see CentOS (especially 5) as a viable alternative there.

I agree completely. I don't see any real showstoppers that would prevent it from being a fine desktop. There are a few extras that I'd want to grab from the Fedora repos, but you can't beat the cost/stability/speedy updates/7 year EOL with a stick.

Best,
