With fedora you always have the question of how wildly different the CD 
kernel is from the one you would be running with current updates. 
Firewire and nvidia users will understand this from experience.  I'd 
expect CentOS to be considerably better about this.  The apps omitted to 
make it fit on one CD probably aren't that important since you can't 
please everyone anyway.
