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 completely. I don't see any real showstoppers that would prevent it from being a fine desktop. There are a few extras that I'd want to grab from the Fedora repos, but you can't beat the cost/stability/speedy updates/7 year EOL with a stick.

Best,
