CentOS ("Community Enterprise Operating System") is a Linux distribution that attempts to provide a free enterprise class computing platform which has 100% binary compatibility with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).[4]

As of versions 5.10 and 6.5, CentOS officially supports the x86 architecture with Physical Address Extension (PAE) and the x86-64 architecture, while a beta release is expected to be available for the PowerPC architecture.[5]

The first CentOS was based upon RHEL version 2.1AS, and was numbered as CentOS version 2.[1]

History

Originally, CentOS Linux (before it was thus named) was a build artifact for cAos Linux. Several of the cAos contributors at the time were really just interested in this build artifact for their own use, citing difficulties in collaborating with other noteworthy RHEL clones of the time.

In June 2006, David Parsley, the primary developer of Tao Linux, another Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clone, announced that it would be retired and rolled into CentOS development. Tao users migrated to the CentOS release via "yum update".[6]

In July 2009, it was reported that CentOS's founder, Lance Davis, had disappeared in 2008. Davis had ceased contribution to the project, but continued to hold the registration for the CentOS domain and PayPal account. In August 2009, the CentOS team reportedly made contact with Davis and obtained the centos.info and centos.org domains.[7]

In July 2010, CentOS overtook Debian to become the most popular Linux distribution for web servers, with almost 30% of all Linux web servers using it,[8] although Debian retook the lead in January 2012.[9]

In January 2014, Red Hat joined forces with The CentOS Project in order to establish a platform well-suited to the needs of open source developers that integrate technologies in and around the operating system. [10][11]

Design

RHEL is available only through a paid subscription service that provides access to software updates and varying levels of technical support. The product is largely composed of software packages distributed under free software licenses and the source code for these packages is made public by Red Hat.

CentOS developers use Red Hat's source code to create a final product very similar to RHEL. Red Hat's branding and logos are changed because Red Hat does not allow them to be redistributed.[12]

CentOS is available free of charge. Technical support is primarily provided by the community via official mailing lists, web forums, and chat rooms. The project is affiliated with Red Hat[13] but aspires to be more public, open, and inclusive. The CentOS Project relies on donations from users and organizational sponsors.

Versioning and releases

CentOS releases

CentOS version numbers have two parts, a major version and a minor version, which correspond to the major version and update set of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that was used to build that version of CentOS. For example, CentOS 4.7 is built from the source packages from RHEL 4 update 7.[14]

Since mid-2006, starting with version 4.4 (formally known as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 update 4), Red Hat has adopted a versioning convention identical to that of CentOS, e.g., RHEL 4.5.[15]

Add-ons releases

Software Collections (SCL) is a repository providing a set of dynamic programming languages, database servers, and various related packages that are either more recent than their equivalent versions included in the base CentOS system, or are available as official CentOS packages for the first time.[73]

Packages available from the SCL are not replacing the default system tools provided with CentOS. Instead, a parallel set of tools is installed in the /opt directory, and can be optionally enabled per application by using the supplied scl utility. For example, the default versions of Perl or MySQL remain those provided by the base CentOS installation.[73]

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle,[78] CentOS 5 and 6 will also be supported for ten years.[79] Previously, CentOS 4 had been supported for seven years.[80]

Releases having no upstream equivalents

LiveCD and LiveDVD images are containing a bootable compressed file system, created by a set of custom scripts[82] using a kickstart configuration file.[83]

These live images can be also installed to hard disk, thus obtaining a fully functional CentOS installation. The set of packages installed that way on a hard disk can not be adjusted during the installation, as that is a simple transfer of the image existing on CD/DVD, to a hard disk. After booting from hard disk, yum can be used for adding or removing packages.[84]

MinimalCD images are containing a minimum of packages needed to have a functional installation, with no compromises made regarding security or network usability. These minimal images use the standard CentOS installer, with all of its regular features minus the selection of packages. Yum can be used after installation for adding or removing packages.[85][86]

Architectures

CentOS supports only the x86 architectures:[5]

The following architectures are not supported by CentOS (as of version 6):

A Live CD version of CentOS is available at mirror.centos.org. A Live USB of CentOS can be created manually or with UNetbootin.

CentOS images are also available on the Amazon's EC2 cloud, in form of prebuilt and already published AMI images.[98][99]

Repositories

There are several additional repositories provided by the CentOS project, offering software packages that are not included in the default base and updates repositories:[100]

  • CentOS Extras contains items that provide additional functionality to CentOS without breaking its upstream compatibility or updating the base components.
  • CentOSPlus contains items that actually upgrade certain base CentOS components, changing CentOS so that it is not exactly like the upstream provider's content.
  • CentOS-Testing serves as a proving ground for packages on their way to CentOSPlus and CentOS Extras. Offered packages may or may not replace core CentOS packages, and are not guaranteed to be functioning properly.
  • CentOS-Fasttrack contains bugfix and enhancement updates issued from time to time, between the regular update sets for point releases. This repository does not provide security updates.
  • CR (Continuous Release) makes generally available packages that will appear in the next point release of CentOS. It is performed on a testing and hotfix basis, until the actual point release is formally made available in form of ISO images.[101]
  • debuginfo contains packages with debugging symbols generated when the primary packages were built.
  • contrib contains packages contributed by CentOS users which do not overlap with any of the core distribution packages.
