I'm still on their mailing list although I haven't tried the
distribution for years now (have been using Ubuntu Studio for some time
but keep on meaning to try some others as not 100% happy...) Anyway, to

CentOS 7 as the last officially supported version was 5. This was the
thread, so it might be worth picking it up again to ask how he went on
after some more time with it...
