Stable to aplication craches (I mean you PC won't reboot, because of proper software hand handling). but do you use windows server disttro as desktop replacement ?!<br /><br />Don't be stupid man.Alekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213290876775782385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-25609398464818763372011-10-03T21:20:56.500+01:002011-10-03T21:20:56.500+01:00I don't see a reason why 5.x and 6.x can't...I don't see a reason why 5.x and 6.x can't co-exist. If you allow me to compare at car market, Peugeot produces (or produced for some time) 206 and 207 car in parallel, even though they are from different ages.<br /><br />There is a lot of people who still prefer CentOS on desktop.<br />https://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=338<br /><br />http://linuxlibrary.org/index.php/distributions/centos-5-6-gnome-desktop-review/<br /><br />http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=459728<br /><br />I won't discuss this further. Whether to use CentOS as desktop or not - this is user preference.DarkDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128579430145372138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-22845887839500933112011-10-03T17:54:06.857+01:002011-10-03T17:54:06.857+01:00As I read this, CentOS 5.7 is out despite assuranc...As I read this, CentOS 5.7 is out despite assurances that such a thing would never happen while 6.x is out...<br /><br />And so it goes... I had some problems with 5.6 and so reverted to 5.5 for my herd. Not in a hurry for 6.X.<br /><br />But as Coschuetzer observes, why does this article even exist? CentOS is not for the desktop. I use Ubuntu for that. The existance of the CentOS is proforma. As long as it can run the GUI config apps that are sometimes necessary or desirable (in a pinch) it's enough. Server compatibility is the word. You can load Red Hat RPMs and be sure they will work.<br /><br />ServerHerderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-2461673495112386102011-04-14T16:25:37.980+01:002011-04-14T16:25:37.980+01:00@Anonymous1:

Ubuntu does not have .1 versions at all.<br />CentOS has numbering close or identical to RHEL. Knowing this, you can be sure nothing radically new appears in .1 release.<br />Who may exactly tell when CentOS6 is due?<br /><br />@Anonymous2:<br />As long as you laughed, you took your 5 minutes back. ;-)<br /><br />@Anonymous3:<br />I could not get network connection, because it was Live run. I think this is written quite obvious in the post. Distro does not have WiFi card driver by default, and I cannot get one without being connected. Like a loop, which could only be resolved by LAN connection. I was ready to do this for Debian (Aptosid) recently, but more reluctant to do so for CentOS.<br />CentOS is first distro I've seen so far which does not ntfs-3g included. That's why I was puzzled.<br />As for CentOS aiming as a market... CentOS is primary aiming the server market, and I have written this. But it can also exist on desktop. And I got such messages in LinuxQuestions. That's why my post is valid and it should exist.DarkDuck (m)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06273784224243667602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-2579895106242749072011-04-14T12:32:12.275+01:002011-04-14T12:32:12.275+01:00Seriously?

Seriously?<br />Did it ever occur to you, that - perhaps - CentOS is not aiming primary at the common desktop user?! Not even errr... secondary?<br />Why does this article even exist?!<br />Best regards,<br />CoschuetzerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-33033974395568366252011-04-14T09:56:38.714+01:002011-04-14T09:56:38.714+01:00lolpost, give me my 5 minutes back!lolpost, give me my 5 minutes back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-20635036055143683462011-04-14T09:09:11.519+01:002011-04-14T09:09:11.519+01:00Ummm, Sorry to burst your bubble but you use CentO...Ummm, Sorry to burst your bubble but you use CentOS because you can be confident that the developers won't introduce any major changes in a .1 point release. <br /><br />If you wanted to do a review then wait until the developers finally get CentOS6 out the door and do a review.<br /><br />If something worthwhile other then php5.3 made its way into CentOS 5.6 I would be wondering wtf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
