The main point of that installation step is to *not* use ‘Automatic Partitioning’, which will end up allocating most of your space to ‘/home’ and almost none to ‘/var/snd’, which is severely non-optimal for a stand-alone Rivendell system. > The resulting desktop is Xfce instead of Gnome.

It all depends on what you mean by ‘better’. Gnome on CentOS 7 is (alas) Gnome 3, which not only is the resource hog of the century but also copies every bad feature possible from Windows 8. We ended up settling on XFCE because it is fast, lightweight and customizable. Remember, this is a tool for keeping your station on the air and sounding good, neither more nor less. You really neither need nor want a desktop that tries to ‘entertain’ your air staff. A simple program launcher generally suffices.
