Abstract
The CentOS (short for Community ENTerprise Operating System) Linux distribution is an enterprise-grade, freely available, open source operating system that is derived from the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and developed and maintained by the CentOS Project. The CentOS Project is about more than just a Linux distribution. The project’s members are working to provide support, training materials, and, in the future, even certification. Although at its core the project is the CentOS distribution, the CentOS Project encompasses a whole ecosystem of software, developers, and projects. This book focuses on the official CentOS distribution.
