Yes.

My beef with CentOS is well-documented here and elsewhere, so naturally,
I'd recommend WBEL, but from the technical perspective, all three are
near-identical.

Almost all of the clones are direct rebuilds from the SRPMs. The only
place they differ is in non-free packages (like the images anaconda
displays whilst installing!) and in the update mechanism (can't use
RedHat's RHN without a subscription - but up2date still looks the same, it
just works slightly differently).
