You don't want centos if you know whats good for you, its just a hack, 
they have nothing to do with redhat.  If you want redhat linux, then use 
redhat linux and you'll have less problems later.  You can get RHEL with 
the basic subscription or just take the 30 day trial for free, you can 
still use it, just no updates.
