CentOS-12

Coming from Redhat base has committed the same offence of not keeping pace with the Desktop Community.

It has scored the worse possible scenario.
Less than 400 points out of 750.

Live CD version is one I would not recommend to anybody.

It has a long way to go. Unfortunately it is heavy on the RAM not light weight.

Only good thing and the positive comment is for its ability to detect hardware easily.

I hope it will do a good job next time around and take a cue from PCLinux's Zen Mini Me and start from there.

PCLinux which comes Mandriva is basically Redhat derivative.

They should go back to the drawing board.

Fortunately they have produced 6 CD version and I have only downloaded 2 CDs currently.

I would edit this page once the job of downloading is completed which is painfully slow in Sri-Lanka.

I am sorry guys / girls I am harsh on you.

Take it in good spirit!Linux guys are good at that perhaps not girls!
