near the bottom of the first page look for:
"Page 1 of 5Next >" The reviews are on the following pages. The alternatives are all major distros |

Silly me. After reading the article title, I immediately began envisioning something akin to "Slitaz" or "Gobo". Instead my eyes were treated to a green edition of Ubuntu, a Mandriva fork that is more popular* than it's parent, and a community edition of RHEL. Wow. Cool. *according to distrowatch (coughcough) |

Well ... if you are looking for accuracy ... CentOS does include gcc :D And adding "divider=10" in /boot/grub/grub.conf will fix the CPU issue in virtualbox for CentOS. As to the older kernel in CentOS ... DUH, it is an enterprise distribution. It has an older kernel by design. Red Hat uses backporting to fix its kernel while maintaining ABI/API compatibility. http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html |
