Doesn't have stability!? News to me (at least for Ubuntu). Seriously though, you would probably find that a Fedora or Ubuntu would support your desktop hardware (particularly things like Wireless and Graphics card) much better than a distribution aimed at servers. It's also a lot more newbie friendly. > Can you provide me the direct link for torrent of Cent OS 5.5 (one CD is > enough?) The *.torrent file available on mirrors is what you want, so probably this: http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.torrent
