To follow up with my earlier post:
Centos locks up on Java tasks.
There were no error messages or logs when the system crashed. Now, I have been using some extra Java Command-Line Options to help trouble shoot the error if it happens again. They are listed here: Java Command-Line Options
I also started Eclipse over X11 in verbose mode to capture any errors.
My workstation at work runs CentOs which is fine, I don’t care of flavor of Linux I run, as long as it is not Windows I am ok. 
Sorry Windows, don’t like you. 
That being said, the only other experience that I have had with CentOs is posted here:

Losing my entire project may have been a freak accident but so far, as you will read they are 0/2 by my count.
While configuring my workstation at work we found that while doing the ant full builds or working with Eclipse over X11 the whole machine would lock up; and I mean really lock up. No pings everything is frozen and a hard reset was necessary. Naturally my first thought is that nothing takes down a machine (including the NIC) this hard…. must be hardware. Nope!
After some testing and trail & error we found that Java was halting the machine because of lib conflicts put in my OpenOffice. I installed Java from Sun, the old libs, OpenOffice and anything referencing them were removed, and capped Eclipse memory consumption to 1024 megs. It works just fine now. No more lock ups! It was a weird and I had never seen anything like that.
When adding your WordPress blog to Marsedit you have to fill in the ‘RPC URL’ and ‘Blog ID’. The ‘Blog ID’ for WordPress is 1 and the ‘RPC URL’ is your blog’s URL plus a ‘/xmlrpc.php’. If you plug the URL into a browser you will get:
‘XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.’
That is correct, remember, you are posting to the blog. Plug that url in to the ‘RPC URL’ in MarsEdit and you’re done! You may need to refresh the blog once.
