What is CentOS? Why should I choose it?
Posted by - NA -, Last modified by Kevin Stange on 03 November 2010 04:33 PM
CentOS is a community-supported Linux distribution built off the open-source, free packages prepared for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS is a free edition of the very same software that makes Red Hat an enterprise Linux solution, without the unnecessary cost of an extra support contract in order to gain access to software updates, technical resources, and new releases, services which we provide to you directly.

CentOS delivers the same access to industry standard software including full compatibility with software packages prepared specifically for Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. It provides the same level of security support through software updates, product lifetime, and performance of other enterprise Linux solutions.

In addition, each major release exactly coincides with a release of Red Hat's distribution, ensuring that CentOS always provides a consistent compatibility with all software packages released specifically by or for Red Hat.
