Hello,
My name is Enrique and I'm from Madrid (Spain).
My question is: has anyone setup CentOS on a RPi 2 with a light desktop (LDXE, Mate, ...)? Any advice? :)
I have experience with CentOS buy I've always worked with servers. Command line only.
You don't have to be particularly careful with your choice of desktop environment. I've been using KDE on the Toshiba AC100 (< 512MB of usable RAM) with RedSleeve for years. Use whatever you are familiar with. Expect disk I/O to be the most limiting factor if you are running off a USB stick or SD card, random write performance on nearly all of them is attrocious. A USB attached HDD will typically be much faster.
