I'm probably showing my age, but I start almost everything from terminal on Linux. Back in the days of windowmaker / CDE, icons weren't absolute or universal. Wave when you drive through Indiana, I'll wave back. On Mon, Apr 25, 2016 at 12:09 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote:

Red Hat 5, and thus CentOS 5 will very soon be end of life / no support. Might want to try that move to 7 again. However, let me ask, what problems were you having with 7 that caused you to pull it out? Also, while I am a very strong Red Hat advocate, I must admit that *desktop* use Ubuntu tends
