Project Description

CentOS is an enterprise Linux distribution based
on the sources from Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
CentOS conforms with Red Hat's redistribution
policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. 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
regularly updated (every 6 months) to support
newer hardware. Currently, there are 4 different
supported CentOS releases: CentOS-5 is based on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, CentOS-4 is based on
RHEL4, CentOS-3 is based on RHEL3, and CentOS-2 is
based on RHAS2.1.

4.9

This release has bugfixes, feature enhancements, and new hardware support. There are no new ISO images for this release. Installs moving forward will be off the 4.8 media and an upgrade will move you from version 4.8 to version 4.9. This is done to maintain compatibility with third party kernel drivers, which are designed to be installed as part of the installation process.

The Live CD has been released in version 5.5 to reflect these changes.

5.4

This release adds KVM as a technology preview for virtualization, and extends the number of supported file systems, as XFS is supported in the 64-bit release. FUSE support has been added to the base distribution. ext4 (still as a technology preview) has been updated. On the desktop side, the rebase of ALSA is the most noteworthy change. For developers, version 4.4 of gcc is available. For the first time, the LiveCD has been released at the same time as the corresponding point release of CentOS. From now on, the Live CD will no longer be announced as a separate release.
