My curiosity is just "wat makes centOS a preferred distro over the others?". I was wondering if there's any 'specific' reason behind it. I'd love to know.
Stable packaging, good tooling, highly competent admin and automation systems and the fact that it just works, and keeps on doing so for almost as long as people have apps on there.
the other benefit, more specific to the cloud argument, is that its just VM's running on larger iron. And the virt market has been almost completely built on and around centos, start from the vmware base to xen and openvz. KVM is now upstream native to EL. That pretty much covers the whole spectrum
btw, eucalyptus was mostly developed with CentOS ( or so I hear ). - KB _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
