I would say that lack of dev manpower is CentOS's drawback, and not a
major one at that. Yes, I know that CentOS 6.0 was release some 9
months after RHEL 6.0, and that CentOS 6.1 improved on that to only 7
months or so. So what? Most of the critical software for 6.x had been
available on 5.x for those who needed it. The advantages of CentOS
really do outweigh the wait, and for those who really need
cutting-edge then neither CentOS nor RHEL really fit.

More to the point, though, is the CentOS community. I think that they
are terrific. I have received much help on the CentOS mailing lists,
from all levels from this-is-way-over-my-head to
Dotan-should-have-known-better. They are very friendly, and very
helpful. I see not a single drawback in regards to the community.

What have I missed?
