I don't completely agree that "desktops tend to need to run the latest and
greatest" (when we're talking about business desktops), but desktops
(especially also when talking about laptops because of HW compatibilities)
need newer software than RHEL offers, based on now 3 year old base versions
of most packages (except Firefox and a few others).
Agreed, I exaggerated a little there ;-) What I meant is they tend to
need to run the latest and greatest *compared* to servers, and as you
said, especially laptops and newer hardware.
