I'm running CentOS 5 on my compute servers. It's fine for headless servers. There is a quirk in the way it starts up the X server which makes it a less good choice for workstations. When CentOS 5 boots the X server doesn't come up. The work around is to do a ps -aux | grep X And then kill the process it finds. X will start immediately after you kill the zombie X process. I have two different systems that exhibit this problem, a old dual Xeon with built in ATI graphics, and an A64 laptop with Nvidia graphics.
From: Mike Rushton on 3 Jun 2007 15:35 I wonder if it supports 4 CPU's ??? I got the demo of RHEL Advanced Server 5 that I am probably gonna load next week. The Advanced Server supports 4 CPU's - it gives you the sockets or whatever thier called to run multiple CPU's on. I kind of liked the GUI that Red Hat 3 had - that was nice. It loaded easier than windows. The only thing is that w/ REHL AS you are buying some support too.

The GUI is orders of magnitude better on RHEL 5/CentOS 5 then it was on RHEL3.
