From CentOS 3.9 to 4.5
Thanks, Johnny Hughes. He commented on my previous CentOS odyssey, which led me to install version 3.9 on my VIA C3-equipped test box. He said CentOS 4.5 would run on it. I had previously tried the 4.4 live CD, and that wouldn't boot, so I never bothered to burn a 4.5 install disc.
Johnny was right. I did burn the first CentOS 4.5 disc, and typing i586 at the boot prompt worked.
So I'm about to redo this drive as CentOS 4.5. If I don't think about the fact that the sound is kind of screwed up, CentOS 3.9 is a very, very good desktop operating system, one that I would definitely recommend for small to medium sized businesses as well as the enterprise. It's a great implementation of GNOME, and KDE is also here if you want it.
Will CentOS 4.5 perform as well or better? It's time to find out.
