If you want the newest thing, get Red Hat. CentOS is just stealing from Red Hat and you can't expect it to be up to date. It will have security problems and outdated software.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is definitely the best Linux there is. I've been using it for 15 years and the support they give is excellent. You don't get that with Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS. For me it's not only for personal usage - our large enterprise company uses Red Hat solely on our servers. It's stable, secure and has great support from Red Hat. Not only that, but it's easy to sell for your CEO too - a big brand name that also offers excellent support, and you do not have to use Windows. Red Hat is really the best thing to happen to Linux.
