CentOS

CentOS - Community Enterprise Operating System is a free RHEL based distribution of GNU/Linux.

CentOS has a few differences from Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

  • No Red Hat branding or logos.
  • No access to RHN, Red Hat packages or payed support.
  • Packages are not extensively tested or certified to run correctly on specific hardware.

CentOS is commonly used by businesses too cheap to pay for RHEL and for individuals pursing Red Hat Certifications.
