I have CentOS 7 installed on my desktop computer!

There are dozens of us! Dozens! But I honestly don't have any major complaints.

1. Packages aren't THAT out of date (firefox is the latest ESR, gcc is 4.8)

2. Things tend to be nice and stable

3. I sometimes end up needing to compile some stuff from source even on faster moving distros anyway



That is because Centos 7 was just released. Let's talk again four years from now.


Yeah, every time I ssh into a box and see "terminal type not supported" (screen-256color), I know its using CentOS 5.x.

Which means ssh doesn't have netcat mode, rsync can't write to log files or show progress properly, and all my tmux bindings are messed up.
