<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>Welcome to CentOS, the Community Enterprise Operating
System.</p>
<h2>What is CentOS?</h2>
<p>CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution
derived from sources freely provided to the public by a
prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. CentOS
conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution
policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS
mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding
and artwork.)
</p>
<p>CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core
developers. In turn the core developers are supported by
an active user community including system administrators,
network administrators, enterprise users, managers, core
Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the
world.</p>
