So, CentOS sounds enticing. <snip> I want to add several things, to the previous (and excellent) replies. (a) This is an Enterprise Distro, lacking a lot of Multimedia Applications you might have had in FC. Follow this page on the CentOS Wiki: <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS> (b) Install the Priorities Plug in and verify that it works, before you use any 3rd party yum repositories <http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities> (c) Instll the FastestMirror Plug In <http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/FastestMirror> This is a super mailing list, with extremely helpful people, including the Developers participating. Welcome!
