Welcome to CentOS
The Community ENTerprise Operating System
CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely
provided to the public by Red Hat, Inc. for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS
conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be
functionally compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream
vendor branding and artwork.)
CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn
the core developers are supported by an active user community including
system administrators, network administrators, enterprise users, managers,
core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.
CentOS has numerous advantages including: an active and growing user
community, quickly rebuilt, tested, and QA'ed errata packages, an extensive
mirror network, developers who are contactable and responsive, Special Interest
Groups (SIGs) to add functionality to the core CentOS distribution, and multiple
community support avenues including a wiki, IRC Chat, Email Lists, Forums,
Bugs Database, and an FAQ.
