Don't use 5.4. It is *6 years* old and highly insecure and contains many backlevel drivers. Go get the 5.11 DVD and install that instead. There have been many enhancements and new driver support added in the intervening 6 years. Not to mention dozens of security fixes.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
