Red Hat & Centos On Name Usage, and the solution is now to link to
a Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor

I have run CentOS for about a year now on several hundred machines and it works great. The major caveat if you're used to Red Hat is you need to work out a different patch management system since RHN/up2date isn't there. But yum is built in, and works quite well.
I was the sole Linux guy at my last job and had no problem deploying and maintaining hundreds of CentOS boxes between Kickstart and yum.
And there is support. The free support is community based. But you can buy a real honest to goodness support contract with SLA's and everything.

Moreover, our client does not allow others to provide links to our client's web site without permission.
Is even RedHat going to take issue with linking from one site to another without express permission? That thing the web was made for? It's just stupid.
