I'm running CentOS on my server and I don't feel it makes a great desktop since several of the major applications (OpenOffice, Firefox, etc) lag behind since it follows RHEL. I prefer to use something more dynamic and current on the desktop.
Would you say the same if you had to herd several hundred desktops? I really do see CentOS (especially 5) as a viable alternative there.
I agree. I don't like CentOS on the desktop, but if I had to manage several hundred workstations, CentOS' 5-year update cycle would make it a hands-down winner.
