I've used CentOS without any OS issues. Doesn't the "certified" support thing die a quick death when you install "non-certified" kernel drivers like Zaptel? Or "upgrade" to a current kernel? Crap like "try it without the driver your application won't run without and if you still have a problem call back?"
