+100 :-D

Exactly - install, set and forget for the life of the hardware (well, 7 
years). Nothing worse than having the distro force you into a perpetual 
upgrade cycle. Then if you *want* to upgrade to the latest version (eg, 
4 to 5, or 5 to 6 when released), you can, and more importantly, you can 
do it when *you* want, not when the distro withdraws support.

CentOS is a great desktop distro :)
