   Just curious... what were the reasons you choose Fedora (and almost   
   CentOS) out of all the distributions out there?  You've probably noticed   
   my new-to-me laptop is currently running CentOS -- I found that   
   configuring network connectivity was easier than with Mandriva and   
   Mageia.  My test system (previous desktop) has about six different   
   distros in varying stages of configuration, although my "production"   
   system is running Mandriva 2011.0 (somehow I haven't heard much about   
   Mandriva lately).  I started my search with Distrowatch's "major   
   distributions" list.
