I'm so used to it, I don't even notice any more; I just click the things I always click. You have the benefit of a fresh perspective. It's too bad there's probably nobody from CentOS on this list. They'd love to have your detailed feedback. I know I would in my project, anyway.<br>

Whatever. FWIW, I'll try to describe the ISO's.<br>
<br>
"Everything" - Download this if (and only if) you are going to be doing serious work on CentOS *without* an Internet connection.<br>
"DVD" - This is the "medium", the "normal", the Big Mac (or Whopper) combo.<br>
"Minimal" - In Ubuntu-land, this is called "Server". This CD-sized image installs a basic non-GUI CentOS.<br>
<br>
If you want a "medium" that weighs a lot less, and you have an idea which desktop environment you like, you could choose one of the Live disks.<br>
