I think it's both - I support it in an enterprise setting for about 50 
people, and it works pretty well. They don't have root, so can't screw 
things up too badly, and we have an automated build and configuration 
system so I can work around problems pretty easily.

I've heard good things about Scientific Linux, as opposed to CentOS, 
though the CentOS devs seem to be getting it together again recently.
