And now for the contrary point of view...<br><br>I've been using CentOS for my desktop since the early 2000's. Remember WBEL? I used WhiteBox for quite a while until I switched to CentOS 3... then 4... then 5. I split to Fedora 15 for a while because during the RHEL 6 beta period, xorg wouldn't work to the full resolution of my netbook screen. Then when 6 was released, I went to ScientificLinux 6.<br>
<br>I might go back to CentOS 6 because of these benchmarks:<br><br><a href="http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=16835">www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=16835</a><br><cite></cite><br>I started with Linux on kernel version 1.2.8 (back in 1995) when I got to install Slackware from 14 floppies, write my own ppp dialup scripts, and tweak my own XF86Config. But now I just like the fact that when I install stuff, it just works.<br>
<br>Perhaps I don't have the same use cases as you guys?<br><br>
