[CentOS] KDE as default, and looking up CentOS on the web.

Sorry, that was poor wording. I didn't mean a relationship in terms of 
any official partnership between the creators. I meant a relationship in 
the sense that they share a lot of the same features and design. I mean, 
I don't know what RHE looks like, but I know that Fedora and CentOS look 
exactly alike, as far as my newbie eyes can tell.

But really, it's not so much how Red Hat and CentOS connect or don't 
connect that I'm wondering about. It's more about the community of 
support for CentOS. I've been pretty impressed with the helpfulness of 
this list, and I don't feel I'm lacking support. I just feel like when I 
search the net for relatively obvious questions about CentOS, unless 
it's on the centOS web site, there's nothing out there. So I keep coming 
to this list with rock bottom basics.

Let me qualify further. I know that probably a lot of issues I'm likely 
to ask about are more Linux specific than CentOS specific. And I also 
know that so long as I'm reading information about some kind of Red Hat 
build, it probably applies to CentOS. And I also know that most issues 
are to do with the applications rather than the OS.
But as a newbie, I'm always nervous that if I take information about a 
Linux command from some Linux infortmation web site and apply it on my 
system, it will turn out as often as not that things don't work exactly 
as the web site says, because there's some setting somewhere that makes 
CentOS just a little different from what the web site says.
It's really comforting when trying to look up information on the net to 
see the information provided in a context that is as close to your own 
as possible. Fedora seems to have lots of people saying they run it and 
here's what they did to configure whatever it was they wanted to 
configure. CentOS... not so much.
Is it really just that CentOS is so new it hasn't taken hold yet?
