The CentOS Project

Community-driven free software effort focused around the goal of providing a rich base platform for open source communities to build upon.

We offer two Linux variants: (What's the difference?)

CentOS Linux

Consistent, manageable platform that suits a wide variety of deployments. For some open source communities, it is a solid, predictable base to build upon.

CentOS Stream

Continuously delivered distro that tracks just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, positioned as a midstream between Fedora Linux and RHEL. For anyone interested in participating and collaborating in the RHEL ecosystem, CentOS Stream is your reliable platform for innovation.
