CentOS 5.3: This Works
All I can say is “WOW!” No, not the fan-boy stuff; it has to work the way I work. I can be quite merciless about discarding the most expensive, the best supported and wildest hyped, and I really could care less who you are and what matters to you — if it won’t work for me, it’s not worth my time. I haven’t tested every detail, but I’m getting there. However, the things I always look at first are the things which impress me most about CentOS.
Display: As with any really good Linux implementation, the installer figured out what to do. It configured the Radeon driver for my M6 chipset, and the driver configured the display from there. Good enough. The only flaw was the expected reluctance of a US based industrial Linux distributor to enable the bytecode hinting in Freetype2. Once I fixed that, the fonts were great.
