XD No, no, I'm not a Ubuntu user ;) in fact, I prefer Mandriva, or
even Fedora, if you are talking about desktop  systems... I am pretty
sick of the Ubuntu hype...

It happens that in my job I suggested to change from Fedora to Centos
(installed on servers) and my boss liked the idea of having a free Red
Hat Enterprise clon. But, I had some problems with mirrors using
netinstall method, so I was not looking an dummy installation, I
repeat I was looking for one CD install. It's different when you can
get a minimal system installed (for example Mandriva has a mini CD,
with a bare way of installation adn then you can download what you can
install what you want, and please, don't say me now: "So use
Mandriva", I am interested of using Centos on servers). We have one of
the main servers running Centos 5.1 and we will move others from
Fedora to Centos... using Xen too :)
