Ditto. CentOS is binary compatible with upstream (RHEL). Third party product certified on upstream is also compatible with CentOS. Upstream fixes are available on CentOS w/o any paid subscription. Of course, that does not remove the onus of due diligence on the consumer's part. The CentOS team does not just build the binaries. It goes through it's own QA e.g. CentOS 5.3 I believe is going through QA even though RHEL 5.3 has been in the market for a few weeks now. Perhaps, Karanbir can shed more info on this. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
