- ## CentOS Linux
|
| |
-
|
| |
- The CentOS Linux distribution is a stable, predictable, manageable and
|
| |
- reproducible platform derived from the sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
|
| |
- (RHEL). We are now looking to expand on that by creating the resources needed
|
| |
- by other communities to come together and be able to build on the CentOS Linux
|
| |
- platform. And today we start the process by delivering a clear governance
|
| |
- model, increased transparency and access. In the coming weeks we aim to publish
|
| |
- our own roadmap that includes variants of the core CentOS Linux.
|
| |
-
|
| |
- Since March 2004, CentOS Linux has been a community-supported distribution
|
| |
- derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat. As such, CentOS
|
| |
- Linux aims to be functionally compatible with RHEL. We mainly change packages
|
| |
- to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS Linux is no-cost and
|
| |
- [free to redistribute](/legal).
|
| |
-
|
| |
- CentOS Linux 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, managers, core Linux
|
| |
- contributors, and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.
|
| |
-
|
| |
- Over the coming year, the CentOS Project will expand its mission to establish
|
| |
- CentOS Linux as a leading community platform for emerging open source
|
| |
- technologies coming from other projects such as OpenStack. These technologies
|
| |
- will be at the center of multiple variations of CentOS, as individual downloads
|
| |
- or accessed from a custom installer. Read more about the [variants](/variants)
|
| |
- and [Special Interest Groups](http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup) that
|
| |
- produce them.
