So RHEL is your fixed platform/environment?
to be *exact*, i want to have a job as "C++ and OOAD expert"
specialized on UNIX or Linux platform and i was told in my posts on
Linuxqestions.org and justlinuxforums.org that RHEL will look good on
my resume rather than other distros because Red Hat is the biggest
commercial vendor of Linux and most companies use it.i looked for RHEL
alternative and found 2 to be better than others: CetnOS and
Scientifc Linux. hence both will be an edge for me on my Resume as
compared to, say, Gentoo/Arch or Debian.
C++ eh? Did you know that g++ has ABI issues even within minor versions?
If you want to specialize on a UNIX platform, I suggest that you look
elsewhere such as OpenSolaris. NOTHING in Linux space will meet UNIX
because we use GNU tools and GNU = GNU is NOT UNIX. Solaris will be much
more similar to other UNIX OS like AIX, HP-Unix, Irix...
If you want to specialize on Linux...whichever distro you use would be
very much the same for development except for perhaps packaging and
system administration and the latter is not really that important now
for developers...
the primary reason of using CentOS is only to get a better Resume as
it i will say:
"I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS as my primary development
platform"
Hmm...I do not know...I personally do not see how this is a particular
benefit. I hold a RHCE certificate. Would you say that this would make
my resume better?

Depends on what parts of it you are using imho.
that says you are an experienced man and that reply swept above my head :-(
That is just to say you cannot make a blanket statement about Fedora or
any other Linux distro.
