Just curious, what's so bad about CentOS? (Aside from not really being intended for desktop use.)

- anonbanker 10y agoevery CentOS install I've ever had always felt like a house of cards just waiting for the wind to blow the wrong direction and knock everything down. Especially if you install asterisk/freePBX or yate on top of a base install, wherein a yum update will likely break things in subtle ways. This isn't just limited to CentOS (all RPM-based distros have this problem eventually), but it's the one most people experience the pain points from. Now that CentOS was purchased by Red Hat, should you be desperate for rpm-compatibility (Government contracts, Pointy-Haired Bosses' demands), Scientific Linux is a better option.
