My opinion I don't find it really an off topic consideration to think about. I even use it on my laptop. I have clients that use it strictly for desktop use only and not as a server because they can not afford to buy Win XP or Vista. Introduce them to K3B, Mplayer or XMMS and there happy. CentOS has a lot going for itself. The Upstream Company has a great reputation and is one of the oldest left in the business. Thus that trickles down to centos and can make or break centos also. The MAC GUI is pretty darn Spiffy looking also. I think a few ideas can be taken from Fedora on the desktop look and specific apps in question. JohnStanley
