Works for me. I tried to get the system builders at work to take a look at scientific linux, but it was rejected in a off-hand way as 'lacking mind share'.
The only thing I am leery about CentOS is whether or not it's trustworthy to keep up with security updates.

To make it work properly you have to select some software sources and exclude others. After a successful update you can include Fedora packages which Scientific lacks.
If you had handed them a custom install DVD with updates included the story could have been different.

Better go with EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux), if something isn't in that collection maybe it is time to step up and maintain it there (or take a hard look why it isn't there).
