CentOS is an Enterprise Linux distribution based on the freely available sources from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Each CentOS version is supported for 7 years (by means of security updates). A new CentOS version is released every 2 years and each CentOS version is periodically updated (roughly every 6 months) to support newer hardware. This results in a secure, low-maintenance, reliable, predictable and reproducible Linux environment.
CentOS has numerous advantages:
- An active and growing user community
- Quickly rebuilt, tested and QA’ed errata packages
- An extensive mirror network
- Developers whom are contactable and responsive
- Multiple free support avenues including IRC Chat, Mailing Lists, Forums and a FAQ.
