I didn't think I did want the latest'n greatest. Following the 
instructions to configure KDE was not an attempt to get some new 
super-cool feature. I just wanted some themes. Not particularly fancy 
themes, I just wanted to change the look of my desktop. I didn't think 
that would be a particularly shock inducing task. If I did end up 
upgrading or advancing beyond what CentOS was designed for, it was only 
through faithfully following the instructions to get themes working.
The only cutting edge software I was looking for was the OpenOffice 
beta, and that's only because I already have .ods files created with the 
Beta version from when I was running it in Windows.
Other than that, I don't aspire for anything bleeding edge, just more or 
less the same hardware and application functionality I used to get in 
Windows. And I'm more or less there. The only things on the task-list 
are Palm Pilot connectivity and Japanese input, which I'm led to believe 
are possible in CentOS.

Logic? What is this "logic" of which you speak? I don't know the meaning 
of the word. One morning I woke up and a synapse fired in my brain that 
said "You must make your computer as open-source as possible NOW! Obey 
me minion, for I am your brain and I seek to destroy the convenience of 
your workflow for arbitrary and inexplicable reasons!".
