Sounds like you have a friend who has not learned much in several years.

Use CentOS 5.5 (or wait just a little while and use CentOS 6.0)

We have 5.5 on a room-full of important, must-be-up-all-the-time
servers with a variety of applications and have no problem with the OS.

We also have several OSen on many servers and probably like CentOS and
FreeBSD the best.   The others (MS, SUN, proprietary UNIX) are used 
only because some Dept bought some high-priced application that 
requires them.
