I've been ... not happy with Fedora in general and 8 in particular. It's not just the fonts crapola, it's the (as I see it) byzantine "improvements" in HDD handling (LVM, sliding partitions, VOLUME0000-*, everything "/dev/sdx") that are OK until something goes wrong (and something always goes wrong). To me it's like RAID -- why can't I opt out?
Anyway, I was just installing CentOS 5.1 on a box and I wondered, is there any reason this rather more stable, less-likely-to-churn-on-me distro can't be my workstation as well as my server? So tell me, what would I be giving up? Application support?
