it is a "gnome3 " thing

i disliked the SL7 install with Gnome 3 ,and i NEED 6.6 so...

Debian7.7 with Gnome3
---YUCK ---
installed KDE on Debian7.7

Is there any question of the credibility of evaluating a distribution based on running the live ISO on a USB drive and installing Flash and Skype? On one hand, it's strange to see programs crash something so easily, but on the other, I can't imagine a live ISO running from a USB is quite the focus for CentOS.

In any case, I think it's odd to evaluate a distro on software which they don't control.
