    You now have two ways to consume the CentOS platform, CentOS Linux and CentOS Stream. CentOS Linux is a rebuild of the freely available sources for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).  CentOS Stream is a midstream distribution that provides a cleared-path for participation in creating the next version of RHEL. Read more in the
    %a( href="https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSStream" ) CentOS Stream release notes .

    As you download and use CentOS Linux, the CentOS Project invites you to
    %a( href="http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute" ) be a part of the community as a contributor.
    There are many ways to contribute to the project, from documentation, QA, and testing to coding changes for
    %a( href="http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup" ) SIGs,
    providing mirroring or hosting, and helping other users.
