CentOS è pensate per persone che hanno bisogno di sistemi enterprise molto stabili ma senza dover sostenere il costo di supporto e certificazione.

Versione 6.8

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

CentOS Linux 6.8 is derived from source code released by Red Hat, Inc.
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8. All upstream variants have been
placed into one combined repository to make it easier for end users.
Workstation, server, and minimal installs can all be done from our
combined repository. All of our testing is only done against this
combined distribution.

There are many fundamental changes in this release, compared with the
past CentOS Linux 6 releases, and we highly recommend everyone study
the upstream Release Notes as well as the upstream Technical Notes
about the changes and how they might impact your installation. (See
the 'Further Reading' section if the CentOS release notes link above).

All updates since the upstream 6.8 release are also on the CentOS
mirrors as zero day updates. When installing CentOS-6.8 (or any other
version) from any of our media, you should always run 'yum update'
after the install to apply these.

Users consuming our centos-cr repositories will already be running all
the packages that make up CentOS-6.8, and all updates released since.
They will notice only the centos-release and anaconda updates today
when moving to CentOS Linux 6.8. For more information on the CR
repository for future updates, see this link:
