Thanks you everyone! I was previously receiving the list in digest form (good for lurking, bad for interaction). I checked the archives and saw some similar queries and discussions just a few days before I joined, last month...
I appreciate the prompt replies and guidance. I will share anything significant I come up with. As for a few things I saw in previous threads: We use CentOS at the US Air Force Academy specifically on the ResearchNet, the HPC network for the Aeronautics Department, supporting real world (wind tunnel and fluid tunnel) and computer based modeling and simulation, and for connecting out to the bigger HPC.MIL labs and networks. Physics (Meteorology) and Astrophysics also use our systems and network and systems. The justification for CentOS over RHEL is simply funding. We have firm *NIX requirements and no budget for licensing. We used to have a variety of UNIX flavors and variants, but we are going through accreditation for ATO so "approved software only" is the driver. CentOS, with its upstream provider of RHEL, is more likely to get a waiver approval than any of the non-NIAP/CC/approved operating systems. Cheers! -- Jeff v/r, Jeffrey D.

Fortunately, Linux came along. - Bellevue Linux User Group member, 2005
