CentOS is not the best choice for an out of the box desktop experience--many of us have quite successfully used it as a desktop, but it's not always out of the box simple. That being said, my guess is that problem you had after installing the nux repo is that there were already conflicting problems. The way that you could have dealt with that would have been to figure out the conflicts, remove them, and then use the nux repo. As you've decided this isn't worth your time (which is fine too), I won't go into the details, but you could use yum provides to see what put in the conflict, remove that, then try again with the nux repo. I would say, if the main issue is to get a multimedia desktop, something like LinuxMint might be more of a turnkey working solution for you. CentOS, in theory anyway, is designed to be more of a server, or a workstation for some situations. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 _______________________________________________ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
