One small advantage (well actually quite large for me)
with CentOS is that if you are running a Dell server
[I got one a few months ago when they had an absurdly cheap offer]
then CentOS is actually the recommended OS,
and you can get automatic Dell upgrades, etc, if you run CentOS
(as well as the usual CentOS updates).
I find I get more sleep than when I ran a home server under Fedora.
