[Cialug] CentOS

How would you compare running RH vs Fedora vs CentOS?

My recent experiences with RH haven't been too favorable. It seems that 
things are more difficult to accomplish, and it doesn't have the depth 
of applications and modules available as say Mandriva or Debian. IIRC, 
it was a pain to get the php ms-sql module for RH, for instance, but 
it's in the main distribution for Mandriva. I used to be a heavy RH 
user, from about 4.0 to 6.2, but moved off it after that.

Anyone following the universal package management front? i.e. 
http://autopackage.org/
