Won't be a problem. I have a p/s-2 keyboard and mouse on my workstation
and know of workstations with USB keyboards and/or USB mice. ALL of
these machines run CentOS 5.4 (based on FC6) and none have any issues
with keyboards or mice (except when the keyboard or mouse in question
has broken, which they do eventually).

It is going to be the video card(s), network card(s), and/or sound card(s)
that will give you problems. Maybe disk controllers if they are too
bleeding edge.

I use to do CentOS 5.4 on my workstations, but the
everliving *STRESS* of having them so, so gosh
awful *OUT-OF-DATE* has driving me to swearing.
(This is not an admission that I swear.)

So, I figured if I went with Fedora on workstations,
what ever new showed up would eventually show up in my
CentOS servers. So no having to learning two cultures
(Ubuntu, etc.).

What broke the camels back was no support for HP
Laser Jet 1020, Wine 1.0.1 (FC is on 1.1.36),
and no gtkpod support for my customer's iPod.

p.s. CentOS works very, very well on my servers

What do you mean? Just curious. The fact that CentOS packages are usually a
few versions old?

It is usually the stuff that home users want.
Like gtkpod, VLC 1.05, k3b 1.0.5. And the
HOLY MOTHER of all out of date programs: Firefox and
Thunderbird. On the corporate side: unsupported
printers and cryingly out of date Wine.

As I said, workstation CentOS drives me out of
my mind.

CentOS + Workstation = *STRESS*

Try to convert a Windows home user over (iPod and
all), you will see what I mean. Fedora is a
much better choice for a workstation.

That said, what is your opinion on why
I get a stripped Fedora 12 on my Virtual Machine?

Many thanks,

p.s. And Google Earth won't run either. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
