a great alternative
by Crippler - Feb 1st 2004 20:05:28
If you're not down with the contractual obligations that RHEL would hold
you to, CentOS is a great way to have a long-term stable Enterprise Linux
distribution without the extra baggage. It's RHEL 3 without the Red Hat
trademarks or mandatory support contract. So feel free to burn copies for
your friends and distribute at LUG meetings and installfests. It's ideal
for corporate use because updates will be available for five years and
patches will address stability and security issues only.
However, for those who want extra functionality, add three lines to
/etc/yum.conf to include the "addons" repository and you'll get
some newer things (that are still good & stable, but not included with
RHEL).
We've switched to this at $WORK after Red Hat shook things up late in 2003
and haven't looked back. Our major Linux support vendors have agreed to
support CentOS, for the most part. This is because it is essentially a
technical clone of RHEL and since they're already supporting that anyway
there is no added cost to them to support it.
So essentially this has the nuts and bolts of RHEL with the community
conscience of a Debian-like social contract.

build5 includes a fully configured yum installed by default, with the
addons repository already there.
