14 DAY TRIAL // As you already know, the CentOS 7 enterprise-ready operating system was announced recently on Softpedia and it’s based on the publicly available sources of the award-winning Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 distribution.
This article is the second in a series of two original screenshot tour blog posts for the CentOS 7 Linux distro. It will give you a visual tour of the KDE Live DVD edition of the highly-acclaimed OS.
As its name suggests, CentOS 7 KDE Live flavor is built around the KDE Plasma graphical desktop environment, which has been slightly customized with the CentOS logo and a carefully tuned selection of open source applications.
