CentOS on older Compaq and newer HP is the awesome Vvvrrrrrrruuuuuuuu BOOM
BOMB!!!

Hmmmmm though I think I am a little HP and CentOS biased, even though there
are new and old Dell and IBM rackmounts as well as IBM Blade Server units
here too.

I think I would like to play with one of the Big BlueGene IBM mainframes
with linux etc on it though.

CentOS just installs and works when other distros I have seen some of our
colo clients using URP way too much on install or after.

Even with using linux since a lil before version 1, I don't know everything,
and in all fairness to other distros, some admins don't know what they are
doing when it comes to linux administration.

Basic network and hardware monitoring works well here, yet we are not doing
what you are doing the same way.
