But you have to reinstall a new version every year to keep getting 
security updates.

Centos is rebuilt from RHEL source rpms, minus the trademarked name and 
artwork.  And it inherits the 7-year security/bug fix cycle so you don't 
have to reinstall all the time unless you want different features. 
Centos5 has approximately the same application versions you would have 
found on fedora FC6.
