CentOS too is from Redhat i think.You can upgrade to Fedora9 from an older version of CentOS as I did some months back
centos is not advanced. its just a highly stable well tested OS, hence used by professionals and the industry. most popular in webhosting cos because it runs cpanel.

its quite simple to use actually.

redhat was da 1st distro to offer enterprise grade solutions in india, and indians being indians, stick to their culture and use redhat most widely

edit: its not from red hat, its just a clone. infact, redhat sued it so it can't mention redhat at all in its CD or website. they refer to redhat as north american upstream vendor
