        It made me start thinking about Fedora vs CentOS because of the
        problems
        

        I'm experiencing with Drupal 7 and php/Apache in Fedora 18 so
        here goes.

      Hey Roger,
      

      Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges.  The two
      are not the same thing.
      

      Fedora is a development system with a short life cycle.  It
      provides cutting edge applications.
      

      CentOS is an enterprise class system with a 10 year life cycle. 
      It does not support the most recent versions of software for
      desktop use.
      

    Thank you to all for the very helpful info.

    I have CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso downloaded.

    My laptop on which I'll do the first install does not have a
    functioning dvd drive so it has to be usb install.

    I installed Fedora 18 on it this way.

    All the info I'm reading says I have to reformat my usb to a fat
    system, why? Is there any reason CentOS doesn't use ext formatting?

    Also for some reason Brasero now does not burn to usb, I don't
    remember how I put the Fedora Iso on the USB.

    Also it seems extremely complicated to create  a CentOS usb
    installation.

    I read that the CentOS people aren't interested in end user but it
    seems that end user or non server computers may not have dvd drives
    for much longer, making CentOS out of reach of end users.

    Seems like it's out of reach for now.

    Thanks

    Roger
