I did quite a lot of researching and fiddling, and in the end, after
weighing the pros and the cons... I guess I'll wait for CentOS 6 to
build these new apps. Should be less than a year, if things go well :o)
After all, installing an enterprise-class distro only to fiddle around
with the base packages doesn't make much sense... or else, I'd stick to
Slackware ;o)
cheers,
Niki
