Yep, I plan on downloading CentOS, to replace my fairly ancient (5+
years) RHEL3 install. I did have the support package at the 'upgrades'
level, but that expired back in December 2009, and the hard drives are
older than the install (6 years), so I plan on pulling the machine
(which still runs like a top... built it myself), giving it a good
cleaning, upgrading the CPU's, doubling up the RAM, installing new
hard drives, replacing one of the CD drives with a new DVD drive, and
installing CentOS and OpenBSD, each on a separate, swappable hard
drive in the existing front-loading drive bays.
It's and older MSI server mainboard, but those things seem to last
forever, and neither CentOS nor OpenBSD (configured in Desktop mode)
are especially demanding.
