I have also noticed this. I have not yet run CentOS 5 but have been running RHEL5 for a month or so and it appears that after some time I cannot open applications in the GUI? Even simple ones like a terminal won't open. The task bar shown the application as "starting...." and the mouse goes into "busy mode", then after a minute or so the application starting goes away and the mouse goes back to the normal state. ?? I will have to see if I can get a machine running CentOS 5 and see if the issue is there too. A.

I just switched and it seems that CentOS 5 loads faster and overall feels snappier. Could Red Hat have optimzed EL more than Fedora?. Just curious. I really like what I see with CentOS 5. The devs have done a great job making a profesisonal looking distro. An of course kudos to Red Hat for all the engineering and for making the SRPMS available.
