[Cialug] Linux Experience

[Matt Stanton]

Yeah, if you want enterprise support, I'm sure CentOS is a great choice.

But, from the perspective of a home Linux user, the only things I ever  
see involving CentOS are advertisements for web hosts and VPS  
offerings.  Basically I was just making a comment in jest. ;)

I tend to forget that sarcasm doesn't work that well over email.
