[[BR]]CentOS is an Enterprise Linux distribution based on the [ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/ freely available sources from Red Hat Enterprise Linux]. Each CentOS version is supported for 7 years (by means of security updates). A new CentOS version is released every 2 years and each CentOS version is periodically updated (roughly every 6 months) to support newer hardware. This results in a secure, low-maintenance, reliable, predictable and reproducible Linux environment.||
