Thank you, it's a very good idea. The Enterprise Linux Gis project (ELGIS - https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS) says: > > The ELGIS repository is not maintained any more, use EPEL.
I don't think there is a strong need for QGIS (Desktop), Centos and RH are mainly used as servers, but everything that can enable a FOSS GIS environment is beneficial to QGIS and is very well done. Obviously RH/Centos is an excellent home for QGIS Server & friends. If I may add something about this, I suggest to target an SDI infrastructure, including GeoNode or something of the like, oriented towards a geographic topic not only to show single choropletic layers.
