CentOS, here I come!

With the release of CentOS 5.2 a while ago I decided that it was finally time to make the switch from Fedora on my primary work computer to something else. I have felt for a while now that the fast pace of Fedora, and it’s sometimes pretty serious regressions have made it increasingly a bad fit to my operating system needs. I spend my working days doing software development in Java, and I need an operating system that I can be productive in, and yet a system that is stable enough and with enough long term planning and testing to not get in the way of my work.

So, I have made the switch and so far I’m happy with it. I’ll be back with some followup posts with info about adaptations and fixes for my new environment.
