IT Cost Cutting - Efficient Infrastructures and Open Source Software
Alternatives
,----[ Quote ]
| Operating system licenses can easily break an IT budget. With open source
| solutions like CentOS, which is practically identical to the RedHat
| Enterprise offering, have been making its way into datacenters across the
| globe. Combine this with an open source security solution such as OSSIM, and
| you quickly have a very robust security product running for next to nothing
| in dollars terms.

Vertica Puts Column-Oriented Database In Virtual Machine
,----[ Quote ]
| Vertica is competing with database machines, a database system preloaded on a
| piece of hardware, by offering a column-oriented database appliance, a copy
| of its system optimized to run with CentOS Linux in the VMware virtual
| machine. (CentOS repackages a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 or
| earlier.) The analytic database is designed to be used in organizations that
| frequently want to deploy a data mart, have highly seasonal data leading to
| periods of intense usage, or have analytic databases that grow rapidly, said
| Menninger.

CentOS 5.2: Send in the Clones
,----[ Quote ]
| If I were in the mood to use an RPM-based distribution, CentOS would be my
| first and probably only choice. It's not as pretty as openSuSE or even its
| cousin Fedora, but it's more stable than both on my setup. Stability wins out
| over eye-candy any day.
|
| CentOS is one of the few distributions that (perhaps due to its emphasis on
| small, incremental changes) manages to pull consistently high marks even from
| me. This release is no exception.

Centos 5.1 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| CentOS stands for Community ENTerprise Operating System. As a group, CentOS
| is a community of open source contributors and users. Typical CentOS users
| are organizations and individuals that do not need strong commercial support
| in order to achieve successful operation. CentOS is 100% compatible rebuild
| of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, in full compliance with Red Hat's
| redistribution requirements. CentOS is for people who need an enterprise
| class operating system stability without the cost of certification and
| support. CentOS is currently ranked #12 at distrowatch

CentOS 5 as a Desktop System
,----[ Quote ]
| CentOS 5 is a stable system which can be user either as a server OS or
| as a desktop system for a normal user. The latter requires a few
| modifications in the default installation (like the performance
| fixes mentioned in the article), but after the tweaking is done,
| it works great and is worth recommending.

Dollars and CentOS 4.5: Updating Up2date

| tons of management tools, and mousing over just about anything on the screen

Review: CentOS 5
,----[ Quote ]
| CentOS 5.0 gets high marks from me for a lot of what they do, but looses a
| few points for some of the things they either forgot to do, or chose not to
| do. For business use, it’s a well rounded Linux distribution that’s ready for
| the desktop for certain. But for the portable user and the home user, I feel
| that it needs to grow a bit more before it will find its way onto my
| shortlist of recommended Linux distributions. With what I’ve seen, I’d really
| love for it to reach that level at some point, but for now it’s not. But I
| must say, the developers have done well and I look forward to future versions
| and all the great new things that they will be bringing about in the years to
| come!

A First Look At CentOS 5

CentOS The Red Hat Clone
,----[ Quote ]
| The release of the free, community-based CentOS 5 Enterprise Linux so
| soon after the RHEL 5 release is hardly a surprise; the same thing
| happened with RHEL 4 two years ago. Nor does Red Hat consider CentOS
| a competitor, but rather a distribution that fills a need. The
| company also said CentOS will help it grow its business.
