I did. It'd be neat to have the Transmission daemon running 24/7 on the 
webserver and just connect to it as needed.
We'll see how this goes. Want to give Deluge from the nux repo another go.

I like tinkering and I've always been a little envious of our molecular 
modeling chemists at work. CentOS performs like lightning and I wanted to also 
see if I could squeeze out some extra power and speed while rendering the 
Gopro-clips I film every now and then.
Pinnacle Studio in Win7 never was very fast despite running on an Intel i7 (an 
older version).

As for Fedora - nah, don't like the default desktop environment. I know there 
are other DE alternatives, but never liked the bleeding edge-philososphy 
anyway. Prefer stability.
I looked into Mint 17, but didn't like the way it handled software raid 
creation at install. CentOS is way better there.

As for other reasons, see my previous post!
