You didn't really say what version of CentOS you were using but I'll assume the latest 5 series (currently 5.1). With the announcement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta (See: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-announce/2008-March/msg00000.html">https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-announce/2008-March/msg00000.html</a>) Red Hat says that they do a "Re-base of the top Desktop applications" to include: Evolution 2.12.3, Firefox 3, OpenOffice 2.3.0, and Thunderbird 2.0. I'm wondering if they re-base any other desktop software as well as I'd really like to see GIMP 2.4.x.
Anyway, I'm guessing after the release of RHEL 5.2 and the subsequent release of CentOS 5.2, that DOD will upgrade and the versions of those applications won't be a potential issue any longer.
Just out of curiosity, do you use some form of virtualization technology to underlie DOD? How about offering KDE as well? How about development tools?
