I recently participated in a discussion in a CentOS group I belong to about the suitability of CentOS for ordinary laptops. Is CentOS really good for laptops? Like so many things it depends on what you intend to do and what software you're going to use.

Of course we have Python! You just need to specify whether you want Python 3 or 2 as we didn’t want to set a default. Give yum install python3 and/or yum install python2 a try. Or, if you want to see what packages we recommend, use yum install @python36 or yum install @python27. Read on for why.

Goodbye, Debian 8.1 (Jesse). I tried the distro for several months because RHEL clones (Springdale Linux and CentOS, both 7.0 and 7.1) didn't like my legacy nVidia GeForce 6150 SE in this old desktop and it was a pain to fix that. The system still is good enough to do all the work I need to do and performs reasonably well. Debian seemed like a reasonable alternative.
