I see it the way you do, CentOS is a good platform for servers, My current needs 
are met by a backup server running CentOS in a VM image in Fedora/KVM. That way 
I have "identical" machines. Clearly this is an issue if you have so much load 
that the slight overhead of virtualization is a problem, but in general it has 
worked well.
