My apologies if this question has been previously answered, but could anyone here provide me with resources that I might use to help build a case for exclusively using CentOS in an enterprise environment? (Approximately 200 servers)

Reasons thus far I've come up with include:
--free *and* "fully" (at least, in my experience) compatible with RHEL --fairly stable (I don't have problems unless I start mixing repos) --yum packages (almost as cool as Debian! Ok, I'm biased...or maybe I don't know how to properly use yum?)
I've done an introductory presentation of CentOS at Fosdem last year (and at some other places), in which I covered some of the reasoning why you should use CentOS/RHEL.

Maybe that helps a bit.
