More precisely, CentOS makes a big deal out of being binary-compatible right down to loading 3rd-party kernel modules correctly. So unless the software you're using needs to see the string "Red Hat" in /etc/issue, or uses the up2date infrastructure, you should be fine using any of RHEL, CentOS, SL, Oracle Unbreakable Linux, Sun's version (can't remember what it's called) etc.
Regardless of what Sun's version _used_ to be called, wouldn't it now be called "Oracle Unbreakable Linux"? ;)
