Yes we are.  On Quadro and enthusiast class equipment.  CentOS 5 works fine, but we haven't done any sufficient CentOS 6 testing because other software vendors in Engineering are still not certified for the platform.  What kind of problems are you having?  Perhaps some of our findings will still apply.
