[Lug-nuts] CentOS

My personal workstation desktop can get a little cluttered. Regardless, I had open centos.org. I'm not sure when that happened, but I must have come across itsomehow and just saved it to look into later. Well later finally occured and I did some checking. I guess centOS isn't dead and I found this nice description of the ecosystem: --- Fedora is RedHat's play area. All new, crazy ideas are tested on Fedora before deciding if they are going to be added to RHEL or not. This is the reason why Fedora has a short and dynamic lifecycle, with every new release there is something novel coming up. CentOS is a stripped down, community supported version of RHEL. You can say that Fedora is (almost) a superset of RHEL, which in turn is a superset of CentOS. --- I know we used to have some centOS fans on the list and this info claified some things for me, so I decided to post it. I have a new, well used, system coming in a few days. I'm thinking that perhaps centOS may suit my needs and personality better. I'm considering installing it.
