I'm also thinking about CentOS in this use case. It's still a bit early for CentOS 7 in terms of both stability and extra repos, but if/when I use CentOS in this manner, I will be using the El Repo and the Nux Dextop repos -- http://li.nux.ro/repos.html. With Nux especially, you get all the extra applications that CentOS is generally missing. -- Steven Rosenberg http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog http://blogs.dailynews.com/click -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
