That is interesting. I installed CentOS server in a VMWare machine on
OpenSuse, had a few problems, and went onto the CentOS IRC channel to
try to get some help.
After a while I began to feel extremely uncomfortable about the
attitude of those who thought themselves the "experts". Mention of any
distro other than CentOOS brought a storm of disapproval about being
OT. The attitude was one of "if you aren't a pure CentOS user we are
not interested.
Might just have been me, but CentOS went into the bin. Thank goodness
it was just a virtual installation.
