In comparing CentOS to RedHat releases, it seems to me CentOS is the Desktop/Workstation class distro from RedHat. Does the CentOS project then not have a Server class distro, or am I missing something? Granted, most any operating system can act as a server, but there are some fundamental components of a server-class OS that help is stand out versus a workstation version.
Thanks for any insights.

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.

With the CentOS 5 DVD, you HAVE the option to install "Server" just as you do "Workstation" etc.
Though I have not taken the "Server" option, I assume it's LAMP.
That ought to clear things up for you mate.
