CentOS Overview CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendor's redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.) CentOS is free. CentOS is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn the core developers are supported by an active user community including system administrators, network administrators, enterprise users, managers, core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.

Spotlight - News University Of Maiduguri Posted By: muffycompo Other news: Centos At Austin Community College (2009/8/12) In 2007, University of Maiduguri decided to look for an alternative solution to their Existing Mikrotik based Hotspot system to tackle issue of repetitive licensing. We decided to research open source solution where we tested and found Coova-Chilli to be the best and having more features, we were able to come up with a product that was developed in-house in the University. We are now proud to have our Product called "MPot" which is even at Version as of the time of this writing. The Base Operating system had to CentOS because we wanted to have the robustness and scalability of RedHat Enterprise Linux which we got from CentOS Linux. We are glad to have worked with the CentOS community and will like to thankeveryone involved on this wonder Open Source OS.
