Hello,
 
I can't say I'm negative toward CentOS, I used it back in the late 90s (? Maybe early 00s), as an alternative to RedHat at that time.
It's more a familiarity thing.  I have used more Debian based Linux distros since the mid 1990s than anything else.
I will certainly look into CentOS as an option. Could be a shorter path to completion.
Thanks for reminding of that as an alternative.
 
My friend just toured Fermi Lab and brought me back a lapel pin. I was thankful but very envious of her visit there.
It's certainly on my list. 
 
I could probably just retire and, quite happily,  tour all the worlds particle accelerator facilities.
Make a nice scrapbook of blueprints.
 
Peter

Moving from SL to CentOS is straightforward, I don't think you can speak about it as a migration as it is exactly the same >product. And staying with CentOS will give you a chance to meet the DUNE people at some point and more generally the HEP community if you liked >interacting with it!
