What is CentOS?
CentOS is an open source Linux operating system aimed at the enterprise user.
For many CentOS is the 'go to' Linux OS when running web based services.
Solid, reliable and field tested over the years.
An excellent choice for any server based requirements.
Often the Linux distribution of choice when setting up a cPanel VPS.
Maintaining CentOS?
CentOS provides an excellent enterprise-class operating platform for your VPS, allowing easy system update and application installation via the Yellowdog Update Manager (YUM).
Installing enterprise services such as a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) for web hosting on a CentOS VPS is made easy with the built-in CentOS YUM groups.
To view a list of installed and available YUM groups on your CentOS VPS, simply type 'yum grouplist' at the command prompt.
A VPS running CentOS provides an excellent all round Linux platform which is easy to maintain and secure.
Based on the highly regarded Red Hat Linux distribution, CentOS comes from a well maintained Linux distribution lineage, for FREE.
