What's the deal with Centos?
.....as compared to redhat, fedora, freebsd etc
Is it mainly a cost thing as Centos appears to be freely available?
Anyone using it?? Feedback?

Centos is the open source version of Red Hat Enterprise, it is the most compatible OS to date and works seamlessly with the main control panels like cpanel.
If the host can do some basic hardening it's a rock solid OS.
Free BSD is a great OS it's just not as up to date with what's needed for the newer control panels, hardware, and modules.
