Then you probably don't run Fedora - the 'desktop' oriented distribution, or care much for the non-backwards compatible changes that went from there to RHEL.
Hell, no, I don't run fedora. I've got three or four users, and my manager on one of his systems, who do. I *LOATHE* it, with all the grief upgrades have given me.
And, correspondingly, you probably don't really run any 'desktop' applications that are visual or audio/video oriented. There are reasons for that side of the coin, but they don't mesh very well with server use and remind me of the early days of Windows.
Um, users here run eclipse, among many other things. At home, I run mplayer, realplayer, browser, gwenview... what "audio/video" apps were you thinking of?
