Andreas,

Thanks again. I know differences between Fedora and CentOS (both system
I use more than 10 years). I am satisfied with Fedora on my laptop. I
touch CentOS 6.2 virtualization because I plan to migrate my main server
from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.2. Unfortunately my test server is 32bits
only (that's the reason of my posts). Fortunately my main server is
64bits, so I have chance to migrate my virtualization from CentOS 5.7
and WMware Server to CentOS 6.2 and KVM. I plan this migration because
VMware Server is not developed and I don't know what about kernel
patches for VMware Server in the future.

Best regards,
Radek
