It is an enterprise class GNU/Linux distribution. Just like RHEL, CentOS focuses on stability and security, sacrificing the latest packages. On workstations Ubuntu is a good pick. Our business switched to Ubuntu Linux on our desktops half a year ago, and we are very happy with it. On servers I prefer the RedHat Enterprise Linux clone CentOS.

Most of the time the free distributions have more features as well. I only used Red Hat because I could easily get a legitimate copy of it. If I were to use Linux as a home operating system I would definitely go for a free distributable (most likely Ubuntu).

CentOS, Oracle and others supply identical versions for free. It's the same software with all the RedHat trademarks stripped out. Ubuntu is not a bad choice for home Linux. Getting very popular these days. I agree there are times <a href="http://www.wibbly.net/2007/11/11/when-not-to-install-linux/" rel="nofollow">when not to install Linux as a home OS</a>.
