hi , want know about centos
 

hi,

i am the new user of linux , i wanted to know whats the difference between rhel, fedora and centos , i have installed centos ,does it support all the application that rhel supports, and does it support all the server congfiguration and does centos requires any antivirus

CentOS IS RHEL (the only difference they strip off all Red Hat branding). Fedora is Red Hat-supported community distro and is more of a testing ground and more desktop-orientated - new versions of packages make it into Fedora first and once their stability has been proven they go into RH. Fedora's releases are more frequent so the software is more up-to-date.

Anti-virus - not needed unless you want to protect windows boxes on your network.

You will have looked at http://www.centos.org/ before asking this question.

You will have read If when you read "a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor" you substituted "Red Hat", you would have found your questuions relating to Centos answered.

Congratulations! Did you find it to be missing something that you wanted/needed?
