A different disto with unique maintenance requirements is exactly what I don't want. But I don't see how to avoid having multiple systems with different required procedures overlapping for some time now. I don't blame anyone in CentOS-land for the breakage - I'm sure it eats some of your time too. But, is there anything that could help automate a transition? Are there tricks buried inside the automated 6x-7x upgrade tool that could be separated out to help build a working-but-parallel 7x system to test before cutting over? How are others dealing with the end of freenx and the inability of x2go to run gnome3? That's 'almost' a uniquely CentOS issue because freenx was so easy on CentOS5/6. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
