NP. I was not trying to rebuke you. Many "native English speakers" make
much more serious errors consistently. You do just fine. I make my share
of mistakes - especially since I started using the web so long ago.

I don't have one, but with the holiday in the US, you might not get many
replies today. The last time this topic was raised, opinions were all
over the place. If you google for "laptop" and Centos together with
site:centos (maybe a few more words to narrow the search, like "distro",
"preferred", etc.) in the google advanced search area (it has a specific
box for the site so you can just enter "centos" there if you choose to
do so) you'll probably find the previous thread fairly quickly.
