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

openSUSE has introduced an innovative method for its development, resulting in a new kind of hybrid Linux distribution known as Leap. This version leverages the source code from SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE), which ensures a reliability that few other Linux distributions can match, and merges it with community-driven advancements to offer the best stable experience for users, developers, and system administrators alike. Those currently using openSUSE can easily transition to Leap by booting from a DVD or USB and selecting the upgrade option, or they can perform an ‘Online Upgrade’ with just a few commands. Leap adopts a traditional approach to stability, releasing a new version annually while providing ongoing security updates and bug fixes in between releases. This combination of features makes Leap particularly appealing for server environments, but it is equally suitable for desktop users due to its low maintenance requirements. Furthermore, openSUSE Leap's compatibility with SUSE Linux Enterprise not only enhances its stability but also allows users the flexibility to move to an enterprise solution if needed, ensuring a smooth transition for future growth and support. Overall, Leap stands out as a compelling choice for anyone seeking a robust and reliable Linux operating system.
