Why are you paying for "CentOS?" Does Rackspace charge for different distributions? If you're going to pay for a distro then might as well go for the source and pay for RHEL.

I'm basing this from your comment: "CentOS 5.4 - pretty much an exact replica of RedHat 5.4, so there's lot's of online documentation and help. Plus, it came as an inexpensive option with Rackspace. :)"

He's not paying for CentOS, he'd have to pay for RHEL. It's an extra 3 cents an hour.

I equate inexpensive with a cost. Am I misunderstanding something here? CentOS is a free distro.

To be clear, CentOS: Free. RHEL: +3 cents/hr.

He just worded it poorly.

true. I should have written "Plus, it came as a _less_ expensive option with Rackspace. :)"
