Inside The CentOS Distribution corporate - manifestations, The CentOS Project maintains near to four - different major releases of The CentOS Distribution (e.g., - the operating system), parallely in time. However, inside - The CentOS Web visual manifestations, the content is - produced for no specific release information (e.g., there - is no a complete web site for each major release of The - CentOS Distribution individually, but one web site to - cover them all).
