CentOS - Some opinions? (1 Viewer)

...from those who've used it, of course.

I'm thinking of migrating my current Ubuntu 7.04 web server / virtualisation server over to CentOS 5 + Webmin/Virtualmin. Though I'm of the belief that most Linux/UNIX OS behave very similarly, is there anything in particular I should watch out for when moving from a desktop-distro-turned-server and an enterprise Linux clone?

I have used Whitebox EL in the past, but without root privileges. Haven't seen much difference there though...(except terrible memory management!)

Yeah, I've decided to move to Debian 4.0 instead...

Had a play around with CentOS 5 - virtualisation was extremely tricky because of the way that Red Hat/CentOS manages network adapters that I'd use. I had used virtual TAP interfaces for each virtual machine which I could not get working properly in CentOS. Besides that, nothing wrong with that OS..

Debian feels much more at home though, especially from Ubuntu =P

Now running VirtualBox with two instances + Virtualmin/Webmin on there...they've implemented a very nice script to install everythingon there (Webmin).
