our product(ATE tester).
Rock solid
Mark
Excellent combo of ease of installation, usability, and tweakability. An awesome distro.
Tom
Rock solid Linux for servers AND workstations. I use it primarily as a workstation OS and it is very stable. Installation and upgrades are very easy. Management is ok. Good hardware support. And did I mention that it is very stable? Like Dirk, I'm looking forward to the version 5 release. Great job CentOS team. Awesome distro.
Mookie
This distribution has replaced SLES as our production Linux. We use it on S/390x, i386, x86_64 and IA64 systems. We are running over fifty real and virtual production servers on CentOS 4.x.

No DAG*, no fun!
*) DAG is a very good yum repository, hosted on dag.wieers.com
extending your CentOS with Bleeding-Edge-Technology
and adding some fun.
