CentOS is a freely available Linux distribution which is based on Red Hat’s commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux product. This rebuild project strives to be 100% binary compatible with the upstream product, and within its mainline and updates, to not vary from that goal. Additional software archives hold later versions of such packages, along with other Free and Open Source Software RPM based packagings. CentOS stands for Community ENTerprise Operating System.
At least, on the VMWare Workstation where was running, the boot was very slow; other distros (like BackTrack) boot fast, more fast.
true, its not for … true, its not for the common desktop user, but i’m fixing to install it on my notebook and use EDA tools, every other distro i’ve tried requires seriously hacking the OS, but integration with centos is almost magical
