I've had nothing but trouble with BSD/Linux over the past year or so. I've been on Centos 6.4 for about a half day now and I am loving it. I am just wondering though, how does a 7 year support cycle work? I see that there is libreoffice which is kinda new. Is this because open office is under oracle's influence? I am on gnome 2 right now, will I wake up one day in the next 7 years to gnome 3 ? I really don't want to. Will I just have gnome 2 + bug fixes? If so how does the community do this if the gnome people drop support for gnome 2. Thanks-Patrick
