My experience in both reading this list and working with other sysadmins
is that even though CentOS 5 is a .0 release, it is not only robust, but
a rock solid release. I've been running CentOS5 on my desktop at home
for more than a few months without issue, so I'm comfortable with 5.0 in
a production environment. Good point made, though.

That is certainly something to consider. Myself and one other will be
the only folks using this machine for storage that will require ftp
access so your point is taken. SFTP is my likely choice after a bit of
reading to ensure compatibility with our tasks.
