Isn't CentOS more designed for servers? I'm not sure. I've considered Debian Squeeze, but it's one of those things I've never got round to looking at in enough

Our older users are in their 60s and 70s. We're a non profit radio station and several of our volunteers have never used a computer before, or have had only a passing involvement with them.
- keithpeter 15y agoCentOS claims to be a clone of RHEL. There is a desktop install package that puts Gnome with the usual (firefox, openoffice, evolution). There would be some post installation fiddling with different repositories to get any sound software you need working. Scientific Linux is another distribution based on RHEL but which changes the binary packages more. Again, repositories and some twiddling. What sound software do you use? Does it involve Jack?
