For servers that is fine - try installing CentOS on your newer laptop or workstation. Even if you did get it to install, the s/w stack is way too outdated. Between that and Fedora being the extreme, Ubuntu LTS is a well balanced choice for workstation/laptops - you get stack refreshes periodically with point releases and it is not so bleeding edge as to be unusable.
- rwmj 11y agoInternally Red Hat gives every employee a laptop running RHEL 7 (it was RHEL 6 until quite recently). Also RHEL 7 version numbers don't necessarily reflect the upstream version of the software, since Red Hat actively backports major features and fixes.
- jvoorhis 11y agoI've found CentOS 7 to be remarkably stable in recent laptop configurations. Main issues encountered were the odd package with hacky systemd integration.
