CentOS conforms fully with Redhat Enterprise redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove the branding and artwork of Redhat.

CentOS is for those who want a stable OS, officially supported for a long period of time. This is for those who want a Redhat Enterprise Linux, but has no budget.

Visit offical CentOS website for more info.

 Not bad, through persistent learning, I have gained the following knowledges:-

• Setting up two public Linux server (ReadHat) with DNS service, Qmail, Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, PHP, Perl, Mono, QmailAdmin, Horde, SquirrelMail, Webalizer.
• Setting up many Linux workstations with OpenOffice, Evolution, Gaim/Pidgin, Mplayer.

I can term myself as an experienced linux user now. The only thing I have not involve heavily is programming in Linux. I will start trying it soon…..

 I am currently spending my spare time looking at Framework 3.0. I will write some articles related to it very soon, stay tune.

• PostgreSQL
• MySQL
• Firebird
