I can't think of anything that has been a problem with 64-bit win 2003/2008 as production servers and I sort of like the way you can decide after-the-fact that you want to convert a disk to software raid.
Where the operative part of the bazillion step process is copy the data to the new device while running from a rescue CD, then making it bootable. This isn't really specific to CentOS - but on Windows (server versions) it is a mouse click to make a file system dynamic and then another one or two to add a mirror - with the system still running. Or you could use a few command line commands instead.
Oh please don't tell the lads how great the gui and its backend are. You will see the hordes leave for Windows 200X Server!
Yea rite, gui/management tools are one thing but foot print, stability and cost to support are another.
