I did quite a lot of researching and fiddling, and in the end, after 
weighing the pros and the cons... I guess I'll wait for CentOS 6 to 
build these new apps. Should be less than a year, if things go well :o)

After all, installing an enterprise-class distro only to fiddle around 
with the base packages doesn't make much sense... or else, I'd stick to 
Slackware ;o)

cheers,

Niki
