I have always used Ubuntu for desktop linux and CentOS for servers. Have never tried CentOS as a desktop. Perhaps I should?
One look is worth a thousand words, as they say :

My Linux desktop, based on CentOS 5.3, tweaked to death with all the extra stuff like working Flash, working Java plugin, working codecs, extra packages from RPMForge as well as my own repository. Will play every audio and video format under the sun, and it's just about to make coffee also :o)
This is the exact same desktop I usually install for my clients. Comes on two homegrown custom CDs with install scripts, so installing it on a fairy recent desktop takes no more than half an hour.
Does everything that the average Ubuntu/Mint desktop is supposed to do, that is, minus the bugs and the worries.
Policy: I install it, the user uses it. Period.
Works like a charm.
Can the install script be simplified to rpm installs of the http urls to the yum repo release files followed by yum installs of a list of packages? And if so, can someone publish that script?
