Because Centos IS Redhat without the paid support ie a "free' community version. Nearly all the hosting companies I've done business with have used Centos.

For me it was just a matter of circumstances. Back @2005 the geeks at the local LUG were using it. They had an "installfest" and that's what got put on a hand-me-down machine alongside Winblows 98. Those were blissful days of a sane Gnome2 desktop and a customizable usplash login screen. Ubuntu hadn't arrived yet and Lennart was still in 'diapers' with only sugarplum dreams of Lendows . . . sigh . . .
