Review: CentOS 3.3 is a good Red Hat server alternative (NewsForge)

NewsForge takes a
quick look at CentOS. "According to the Web site of its
developers, the cAos Foundation, "The goal [of CentOS] is to reproduce RHEL
in a freely distributable form that complies in full with RedHat's
redistribution requirements. It is designed for people who need an
enterprise class OS without the cost of certification or the RedHat brand
name." To a large extent, it succeeds."

Scientific Linux. It is maintained by professional staff at Fermi Labs and Cern and seems to be fairly widely used in academic and government lab settings.
My experience in running it on 50+ workstations and a few servers has been excellent.
