I guess it was to close to my nose for me to se :-) In that case a more correct would be "CEntOS" or "CENTOS" or "CEOS". Thank you for your answer. Have to say this is one of the best distributions I have tried. I think I finally found my favorite. Discovered it from the http://pbxinaflash.net/ project.

As no one has done so yet - [b][i]Welcome to the CentOS Community[/b][/i].

I agree with your logic entirely. However, [b]CentOS[/b] it is!

That is very pleasing to know. We hope you will spread the word whenever you have the opportunity.
