    <h1>The CentOS Project</h1>
    <p>The CentOS Project is a community-driven free software effort focused on delivering a robust open source ecosystem around a Linux platform.</p>
    <p>We offer two Linux distros:</p>
    <p> -- CentOS Linux is a consistent, manageable platform that suits a wide variety of deployments. For some open source communities, it is a solid, predictable base to build upon.</p>
    <p> -- The new CentOS Stream is a rolling-release distro that tracks just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, positioned as a midstream between Fedora Linux and RHEL. For anyone interested in participating and collaborating in the RHEL ecosystem, CentOS Stream is your reliable platform for innovation.</p>
    <div class="downloadbutton"><a href="/download/">Get CentOS Now</a></div>
    <p>In support of this community effort, the CentOS Project provides extensive resources to build, test, release, and maintain code on these platforms.</p>
    <p>For more information about updates and improvements in CentOS Stream and CentOS Linux 8, please check out the <a href="https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSStream">CentOS Stream release notes</a> and the <a href="https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLinux8">CentOS linux release notes</a> or the release announcement in the mailing list archive. Information about other actively maintained CentOS Linux releases is available on the <a href="https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7">CentOS Linux 7</a> and <a href="https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.10">CentOS Linux 6</a> release notes pages.</p>
