When I installed centos 7 the second time, I noticed a kde desktop and a gnome desktop in the offering. If you don't select either (my first try before selecting kde), what desktop is installed? > my guess is that it depends on which ISO image you used. I iinstalled a non-productized version from a DVD that installed Gnome, then I added the epel repo and installed Mate which then was made the default desktop. As an aside, I'm wondering if you removed all the "quote" marks in my first reply (the "> " starting each line). Replies without such quote marks are awfully hard for others to read...
