That's really up to the program manager in which the machine would be

used. He would make a determination whether it's supportable and maintainable, based on in-house expertise and/or outside contract support. RHEL subscriptions give you instant support and patches if necessary. Otherwise, unless another RHEL subscriber has the same issue, you'd have to wait for the community to fix something then get it integrated into RHEL before filtering down to CentOS. If this is acceptable then CentOS is an option.

I would recommend RHEL for critical systems or those that must be certified for a particular purpose, such as CA servers.
We've been using
CentOS for years now on our internal networks for
software development,
local site mail service (SMTP/POP/IMAP), file services (FTP/NFS/SMB/CIFS), DNS, local web servers, etc. It works
very well for
this, especially for software development where multiple
people can get
a GUI login through Stunnel->VNC->GDM and/or shell through ssh.
We're also using CentOS for software maintenance of RHEL
hosts on our
aircraft simulators. Many of our software developers
prefer a CentOS
workstation because of its versatility. On those we
install MS Windoze
as a KVM guest for those applications that require it. My internal workstation is setup this way for use network/systems admin and analysis, software development, as well as normal office tasks.

I thought DoD used RHEL and not Centos, or did Centos
did approved
DADEMS recently?
DADMS is a Navy system, but yes Centos is approved for
use by DISA. You would STIG it just like RHEL.
