Dear Parshwa, I tend to agree with you in some of your points. I migrated my systems from ubuntu to centos and I could not be more happy. off course I have been force to learn the new places where things are "the redhat way" but not problem since the usual tools continue to exist in both platforms. I have decided to run Centos in all my machines thus far, I do have some applications that only run in Windows, in those cases I keep a Virtualbox instance to use those particular applications when needed otherwise I try keeping everything in Centos as native. Do not get me wrong, centos is an "IT" operating system but it could equally be a tool of choice for "non-IT" individuals as long as they are willing to search, read, and ask questions when all else fails. Best of luck and Centos rocks!

Means in your opinion, for a stable OS, cent OS is better. I no doubt agree with the fact its really a personal choice and like me (from not IT or computers), I at first would see the ease of use (yes, probably because I have come from Windows, totally GUI). I like (as what I have found reading and comments I got) Cent OS is secured, stable and an excellent OS, but if you talk of easiness, I guess Ubuntu is above in ranking, where I only talk of ease of use and again its totally the wish of the individual one who is going with what distro. But as for a person, who is really not from IT or uses computers more frequently but want to use one Linux distro, I can say that anyone be it, Cent OS or Ubuntu or even Fedora, at least it is Linux!!

Ultimately it means, Cent OS is good to start with!
