CentOS is one of the popular Linux Distros. Mainly based on RHEL6(Redhat). It even looks little simlar to Redhat.



                         CentOS stands for Community for ENTerprise OS.

Almost 30% of the LInux webservers run on CentOS, so that you can imagine how popular distro is it. Main reason could be the binary compatibilty. Main Source code used by CentOS developer is Redhat code, only logo are changed. It's is available free and coming to Tech support , it's avilable via official mailing lists, forums and chat rooms. It's not affiliated with Redhat hense no financial support from it. CentOS project relies on donations and sponerships from organisations.

x86 (32-bit)
