In fact, the company doesn’t plan to push this new Linux desktop online; instead, you’re more likely to see it pre-installed on Intel’s white box partners’ PCs. Red Hat will be certifying Global Desktop for Intel’s vPro PC architecture. The vPro is Intel’s attempt to re-invent the business desktop.”
I see that RH doesn’t plan to distribute it online. Do you think CentOS will use the sources to build a version free of RH artwork for the community?
Anyone could do that.. if there’s a will, some people ready to invest the time, and a few servers.
CentOS is perfectly usable as a desktop system (to me at least), but “desktop” isn’t specifically its focus. Well, we’ll see.
