Sure about that? This is your first experience with CentOS/RHEL?
It'll run zoneminder (to create a dvr for video surveillance). I've been using Cent5.3 (non-server) since it was released, and I used Fedora before that (since FC 5 days). Actually, I might go back to Fedora for my regular machine.
I decided on CentOS for the server for a couple reasons: * I'm sticking with RH-style distros (I even got my 80 year old non-computer savvy Mother to be comfortable with it!) * zoneminder supports CentOS (they have a guide to set it up on Cent).

After my research, I'm realizing that linux doesn't quite support it. So, I'll probably do as you suggested.

Well, I meant when it gets released. :)
