Paul:
  Can you briefly explain how Centos differs from Fedora when it comes
to using PostgreSql and PostGis?

Check with EnterpriseDB, they are the only ones I can imagine both

Yes, yes it is. I wouldn't spend any money on it, myself, until it  
proves itself in the market (and it has had a lot of time to do so,  
with little avail thus far). It might be great, but so was the DEC  
Alpha.

Centos I have heard of. WhiteHat I have not. Yes, that is what they are.
