And more to the point these days, there is now serious competition
from Ubuntu with it's recently released 6.0.6 version with
planned 5 year update support - with no obligation to buy
a support contract.  If someone uses Centos there is at least
some chance they will eventually want to buy a RHEL with
support.  If they move to a version with a different administration
style they probably won't ever use RH.
