How to pimp your CentOS into a perfect desktop

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 08/15/2011 06:59 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Dedoimedo posted a tutorial about setting up CentOS 6 as Linux desktop




When it comes to being used as a desktop operating system, CentOS has several major advantages: it is super-stable and offers a very long-term support, which are a blessing for people seeking serious work. On the other hand, the rock-solidness comes with one possible flaw; you don't always get the latest and greatest software.

In this article, I will show you how you can pimp a typical CentOS 6 installation, so that it comes with all the bling-bling you need, hence the colloquial term pimp. We'll learn how to get the latest Firefox and Chrome builds, LibreOffice, Sun Java, Adobe Flash, Skype, Google Earth, and a few more items. It's going to be a blast. Follow me.
