yes centos is not for desktop it&#39;s guaranteee, if you don&#39;t have much time and want a distro updated at last release, if you have much time to spend to recompile dependences i advice use slackware, is fast and desktop friendly, similar to swiss knife.<br>
<br>but if you have a server, probably best choice is centos.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/20 Ralph Angenendt <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:ra%2Bcentos@br-online.de">ra+centos@br-online.de</a>&gt;</span><br>

&gt; As much as I like CentOS, I tend to agree with the other posts. I don&#39;t think<br>

<div class="im"><br>
&gt; I set up my in-laws with Linux Mint (running KDE, of course) and they could<br>
