<p><a href="http://www.centos.org/">CentOS</a> 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>
<p>CentOS has numerous advantages including: an active and
growing user community, quickly rebuilt, tested, and QA'ed
errata packages, an extensive <a

<p>As you probably have noted, it is possible to use pre-formatted
texts, lists, tables and several paragraphs inside one admonition.
In fact, it is possible to use any html code inside admonitions.
Feel yourself free to experiment new combinations.</p>
