Let me clarify -

I have been working on installing RHEL5 64-bit Server on a machine, and 
thought about CentOS instead, but when I realized there was only one 
CentOS distro, figuring it was desktop-oriented, I opted out.   There are 
some elements of RHEL5 server I need.

Thanks again for any clarification.
