My R620 and R420 machines are all kept up to date with dsu and run the latest of everything with CentOS 6.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thanks for reverting :) .

So i can accept if R620 and R420 is supporting CentOS 6 then it will support also for R720 ?

Regards.
