I was able to install CentOS 5 on an old junky Dell GX160 PC.

I was surprised it installed with no problem. It had an onboard Intel
Video Adaper. It found it no problem.

It installed easier than most installations of Windows I have done.

The GUI started right up, despite reports of this not working right.

I really like the GUI, very clean looking and well organized.


I tried to get Samba on it working, but could not. I will try again
tommorow.


But I was really impresses with the distro. I don't know if we will use

it but I liked it. It may have a place somewhere in our organization.

their samba book online for free.
