CentOS Description
CentOS Linux is a community-supported distribution that was derived from freely available sources on Red Hat or CentOS Git for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS Linux is functionally compatible with RHEL. The CentOS Project changes packages primarily to remove artwork and branding from upstream vendors. CentOS Linux is free and available at no cost. Each CentOS version will be maintained until the RHEL version that is equivalent goes out of support. Once a new RHEL version has been rebuilt, a new CentOS version will be made available. This happens approximately every 6-12months for minor version bumps and several years for major versions. The rebuild can take anywhere from weeks for point releases to several months for major version bumps. This creates a stable, reliable, predictable, reproducible Linux environment that is easy to maintain.
