Re: [CentOS] Auto-installing security updates?
pfff only for office, if you wound a multimedia sistem with the reason mentioned in the mail before this reply centos is not for desktop, i preferred fedora 10, fedora have only 1 lack, have the software too much updated for my taste, but this is minor problem 2009/5/20 Ralph Angenendt > > Equinox86 wrote: > > yes centos is not for desktop it's guaranteee, if you don't have much > time > > and want a distro updated at last release, if you have much time to spend > to > > recompile dependences i advice use slackware, is fast and desktop > friendly, > > similar to swiss knife. > > I still call this bullshit.

Re: [CentOS] Auto-installing security updates?
yes centos is not for desktop it's guaranteee, if you don't have much time and want a distro updated at last release, if you have much time to spend to recompile dependences i advice use slackware, is fast and desktop friendly, similar to swiss knife. but if you have a server, probably best choice is centos. 2009/5/20 Ralph Angenendt > > John Kennedy wrote: > > As much as I like CentOS, I tend to agree with the other posts.
