Version 1 (CentOS 5) uses KDE3.  Version 2 (CentOS 6) uses Gnome, mostly 
because KDE3 went away and KDE4 is a basket case.  Just as easy to use though.

Or better still, an AudioScience card (http://www.audioscience.com), in which 
case ALSA compatibility is irrelevant.

One note of caution here: there are lots of used ASI cards for sale at places 
like eBay.  If you go that route, be sure to get an ASI5xxx or ASI6xxx series 
card.  ASI4xxx cards are obsolete and won’t work with modern hardware!

Cheers!
