Couple of people asked me (or are going to ask me soon) to install Linux on their desktop. People who are computer savvy to some degree (or not that much savvy in one case -- but the lady has learned Red Hat first in times when it was still Red Hat, and then she got Windows with the new computer, and now she goes around and notalgically remembers about beautfy of that Red Hat icons which was welcoming her on login, and hates unfriendliness of Windows ;-) -- and she is really not computer geek; sorry, I digress). Being now a Red Hat employee, I would love to install them some Red Hat related distro, but I am not sure which one. Of course, they wouldn't like to shell out big bucks (especially considering CZK-USD exhange rate) on RH Desktop. However, I wouldn't feel happy to install them Fedora with 13 (or how many) months of guaranteed support. So, I was thinking lately about installing them CentOS as a desktop. Is it good idea? Does anybody have any experience with using CentOS on desktop, which is primarily used to do something else than developing Linux? Any other ideas? Thanks, Matej
