CentOS 5.0 Live CD -- first impressions
My test box seems to like Debian distros and dislike Fedora and SUSE. I've never been able to get a Fedora-type distro or SUSE to even boot, in fact, on this VIA C7-equipped ECS motherboard. It just keeps rebooting and never getting anywhere.
So for my test box, I give up, but these CDs do load in my Dell work box, on which I can explore them as live CDs but not actually install them to the hard drive.
CentOS 5.0 loads OK, if a little slow (it was flummoxed for a minute by an unused SATA port), but upon launch looks much like Fedora, which is should, since CentOS is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone. It's a way to get Red Hat functionality for servers and desktops without paying Red Hat fees.
