CentOs will probably be one of your best choices for a desktop solution. If you want powerful then go with Progeny Debian. You can't go wrong with either or. Both have great GUIs for installation which makes it much easier to setup the desktop solution the way you need it.xion said:I'm wonder what everyone's opinion is on a good distro for desktop use. I currently use Ubuntu which is pretty nice, but I'd like to switch to a rpm based system becaue I am too stupid and/or lazy to compile most programs. Some people have recommended Centos which I may try.
