Hi guys,

I have been using CentOS 3/4/5, both 32 and 64 bit for almost all of my linux installs, and in fact have even been converting some RHEL boxes over to CentOS without any problems - mainly because I like yum better as an update tool than RedHat's update manager. 

yum is the updater in RHEL5 :)
Gilbert, if you run into any problems or need advice, feel free to ask me, I'm very familiar with CentOS.
I am not sure why all Universities don't get Red Hat site subscriptions. It is *very* economical. At Iowa State, it works out to roughly 7 dollars per machine per year. Students can use it as well on their personal systems.
