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? Something else?
Just the latest bells and whistles. But those bells and whistles will
make it to CentOS/RHEL within a couple of years so you can delay it but
you can't escape. FWIW CentOS/RHEL already does LVM and most of the
other things you mentioned.
