Use chkconfig for particuler service like Mysql:
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
then it will work as serive,
service mysqld restart.

Pros:
|
Stable, good yum-repository support
|
|
Cons:
|
Java / gjc / gcc compatibility issues
|
At our site(s), we're running RHEL3-5 as a server platform. Being fairly comfortable with Redhat, I decided to replace Windows as my desktop OS with CentOS 5.1. (Originally Centos 4.3, then upgraded to 5.1 a few months ago) So far, version 5.1 has been an extremely stable OS, with plenty of quality yum repository support. I have struggled with the jvm compatibility, though. Getting Sun's JDK to play well with Redhat's default gjc/javac is more trouble than it should be, in my opinion.

Pros:
|
Good selection of packages, GNOME and KDE together, nice enviroment.
|
|
Cons:
|
Not very many installation customizing, I don't like the package manager, huge download
|
Over all, this is a nice Operating System -- the first Linux distribution I ever tried on my own system.
Although, this is the most stable OS I think I've ever used....
I think the package management would be MUCH better if things such as, having a system that looked like:
Category
|
Software Group
|
Software
instead of:
Category
|
Software Group (X of Y packages installed)
But that's just me.

Pros:
|
Server
|
|
Cons:
|
Multimedia
|
Great for a server environment, needs much work for a multimedia machine. If you're looking for a multimedia OS I would go elsewhere. But for a server machine this is great.

|
Pros:
|
Well supported, long release cycle, secure.
|
|
Cons:
|
Heavily patched kernels to conform to upstream kernels.
|
CentOS 5 is, in my opinion, the best and most stable Linux distribution that I have tested and used. It has quickly become my OS of choice.
I still like to test drive other distributions from time to time, but I always come back to CentOS.
Good stuff!

Pros:
|
stabilty, scalability, support
|
|
Cons:
|
none

I'd bounced around between distros for some time, mostly using Slackware & Debian, then found the RHEL binary compatible CentOS.
I have never looked back.
Using it on my public web server and my desktop workstations as well as having implemented it for clients.
Rock solid, great community support (Go CentOS Team!), and very robust.
