Faster like Springdale? This is an endurance race. CentOS is the survivor of several clones. "The best reason we have is our speed. If we assume all RHEL clones are equal in terms of software, people tend to then weigh speed and community size/support very heavily. We get new packages out very very quickly because nearly all the rebuilds can be automated. We had PUIAS 6 out over a month before CentOS 6 came out. The same is true of minor revisions - of CentOS, SL, and PUIAS, we had a 5.8 release out first." - "IAmA Developer for the PUIAS Linux distribution - AMA"
