Currently, there are 4 different supported CentOS releases: CentOS-5 is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, CentOS-4 is based on RHEL4, CentOS-3 is based on RHEL3, and CentOS-2 is based on RHAS2.1.

[»] 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.

    and thanks ... Crippler
