There was a thread earlier today where we were discussing CentOS 4
(RedHat Enterprise 4) earlier today (see
http://lists.rawmode.org/pipermail/catalyst/2006-October/010165.html).
 It's too early to say if anything will come of it.  However, if there
are others interested in CentOS/RHEL, please let us know.

Thanks!
