Not really ...

Redhat 6.0 and hopefully CentOS 6 is a very good OS for a server, no 
question. But for me, Fedora is the better OS for a workstation. 
Actually I'm still using Fedora 13 and I'm very satisfied with that.

I'm running CentOS 5  on my servers, that's really ok. What I don't like 
is, that there are no informations about CentOS 6 on there homepage. 
Something like '50% are already done' or so. There is always the 
feeling, that the project might be dead. That's not really good i think ...

Was thinking about the Ubuntu Server Edition instead for a while, but I 
don't like Ubuntu so much. Don't ask me why: The answer would be a 
little bit longer ...
