Absolutely nothing to the purity of Ivory soap :)  26 of our favorite
servers run CentOS.

There is plenty of documentation on how to do a Fedora rebuild
yourself on the Fedora project wiki.  And, not to beat a dead horse,
but EL6 is based off F12, and thus, once you have comps and a few
things, in theory the Fedora infrastructure, loaded with all the
buildrequires (a larger package set than the distributed SRPMS) for
EL6, would churn out EL6 builds and composes.

This poster doesn't have a spare box, so after reading Lamar's post
about how to learn, GMail mentioned $FREE Xen vboxen over at
chunkhost.com.

When queried about whether a FC14 image was available and thus a vbox
on which the learning process could proceed, the subject line was the
answer.

Thus, the compliment to the CentOS Team and to the CentOS Community
for the wisdom of selecting CentOS as the beneficiary of their hard
work and for their choice of an OS, respectively.

Some may perceive ambiguity in the subject line :(
