Description
CentOS Linux is a community-driven distribution that is built from resources made available to the public through Red Hat or CentOS repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Its primary goal is to maintain functional compatibility with RHEL, while the CentOS Project focuses on modifying packages to eliminate any upstream vendor branding and visual elements. CentOS Linux is available at no cost and can be freely redistributed. Each version of CentOS is supported until the corresponding RHEL version reaches the end of its general support lifecycle. New versions of CentOS are released following the rebuilding of new RHEL versions, typically occurring every 6-12 months for minor updates and spanning several years for major releases. The duration of the rebuild process can range from a few weeks for minor updates to several months for significant version changes. This approach ensures that users benefit from a secure, dependable, and easily maintainable Linux environment that remains predictable and reproducible over time, fostering a strong community around its use.
Description
Rocks is an open-source Linux distribution designed for building computational clusters, grid endpoints, and visualization tiled-display walls with ease for end users. Since its inception in May 2000, the Rocks team has worked to simplify the deployment and management of clusters, focusing on making them easy to deploy, manage, upgrade, and scale effectively. The most recent version, Rocks 7.0, also known as Manzanita, is exclusively a 64-bit release based on CentOS 7.4, incorporating all updates as of December 1, 2017. This distribution comes with a variety of tools, including the Message Passing Interface (MPI), which are essential for converting a collection of computers into a functional cluster. Users can customize their installations by incorporating additional software packages during the installation process using specially provided CDs. Moreover, recent security vulnerabilities known as Spectre and Meltdown impact nearly all hardware, and appropriate mitigations are implemented through operating system updates to enhance security. As a result, Rocks not only facilitates the creation of clusters but also ensures that they remain secure and up-to-date with the latest patches and enhancements.
