And some of the major releases of Fedora Core did not work for us.
Varying experiences with FC, ranging from excellent, to we switched to
CentOS and never looked back. And it may be less than one year, for a
major update of Fedora Core or Ubuntu. If someone wants the latest and
greatest Applications on their Desktop, CentOS will not provide that,
but if they want a long life for the OS, security, stability and
outstanding support, with a little time to install the Multimedia
stuff, etc., CentOS is very good on the Desktop. I wonder which distro
they use in U.S. Government installations. RHEL, CentOS or something
else...
