[TriLUG] Whitebox vs. CentOS?

Whitebox is stable and smooth.  CentOS does have a more active
community, but the slower pace of WB fits my needs as a model closer
to RHEL and less Fedora-like.

In any case, WB performs well.  I can tell you from experience that RH
rpms run without any problems.

What Mr. Tiemann says may be true, and although I have great respect
for him, for my needs, it doesn't matter.  Actually, I see a benefit
to a smaller community - less time is wasted on community white noise
and meta-disucussion.
