Thats just about it (although I'm not commenting on the colour scheme).
RHEL is a good distribution, but the required support/licensing cost is
not a good fit for many people - for example I am going to shift my home
server to Centos (to reduce the frequency of required updates) - theres
no way I am going to pay a significant per node license on that, but
otherwise RHEL is a good fit for it.
There are a few changes - up2date is replaced by yum (since you cannot
use the Red Hat Network for updates), and a set of changes for legal
reasons (removing RH artwork etc).
