Yeah, I'm upgrade woozy. Two years ago I took the hard drive from my
Linux machine to put in a Windows machine when my 10,000 rpm WD Raptor
got fried by a lightning strike. I've never rebuilt the Linux machine. I
run all open source apps on Windows 7 64-bit. Linux is in a time of
considerable transition. Maintaining Nvidia accelerated drivers was
annoying, having to manually recompile every time a new version was
released. Replacing X seems to be dividing developers efforts. I never
did feel comfortable with the new sound system. Once all the development
activity settles down, and I think Linus will say something to the
effect "Well, thats all done, thanks guys", I'll go back to a Linux desktop.

CentOS is good if you don't want to upgrade twice a year. If you want
to upgrade twice a year, Fedora is a good option. The new version
(F15) is a bit of a shock to the system with a brand new init system
and Gnome3 (gnome-shell)
I'm really impressed with btrfs as well

I love it. But my desktop progression through the years has been
WindowMaker->Fluxbox->LXDE. What I look for in a window manger and desktop
isn't really the norm. :)
It's nothing special, default look of something like windows 95, but it's
lightweight, easy to configure, and gets what I want done (manage windows,
give me a task bar, and an app menu).
Using a mac at the new job, it's very pretty and very annoying at the same
time :)

I haven't gotten to play with LXDE yet, is anyone currently using it?
Thoughts?

Fedora 15 is pretty good if you want to stay "redhat ish". Go for the
lxde spin, if you don't like the new gnome stuff.
I started running it when it was in beta on my laptop, and was very
impressed (compared to older versions of fedora). Easy setup, no real
driver issues, etc...

I would go with Linux Mint for a desktop (http://www.linuxmint.com/),
it's my flavor of choice for desktops. CentOS is just the community
supported version of RHEL, which is really geared for server environments.
I think Mint has a really well developed desktop environment it is _very_
user friendly.

How is CentOS as a desktop environment? I gave up on RedHat when they
went to a 13 month product lifecycle. And where is Lance Davis?
