While I agree that CentOS6 is the new and better OS I should say that
it has several serious problems (bugs) that have been bugging us for 
several
months to the point the we began considering going backwards to 5 which 
was solid
as rock from day 1. Apparently these bugs (related to the kernel and 
possibly nfs4)
have been fixed in RH EL6 but only to those that maintain a service 
contract.
