actually centos is an enterprise server AND workstation solution. I a Centos workstaiton at a non-profit i volunteer for which i use to monitor the windows network there. Centos is far from a server only distro. It is based on RHEL which is for both servers and workstations.

What do you want to do with that machine, CentOS is built for SERVER PURPOSES and if you want to make a workstation linux-based I advise you to prefarably use Fedora Core or another desktop optimized distribution but CentOS (not Centros ;-)) is based on RedHat Enterprise Linux and is done to be a SERVER SOLUTION...
What sound cards are recognized by Centros? I have installed it on an old 400MHz IBM Aptiva that has Crystal Audio built-in. However it does not seem to recognize that, nor a Sound Blaster, nor a Sound Blaster 16 that I have tried.
Any cheapo cards that it would recognize?
