The 'Everything' image is more than twice the size of the ordinary DVD and is not required for most common installs - it is intended for use by sysadmins who want to run their own local mirror. It allows selecting which components you want to install and contains all packages that can be selected from the GUI installer. If you are unsure which image to use, pick the DVD image. All of these images can either be burned on a DVD or dd’ed to an USB memory stick. Which image you need to download depends on your installation environment. Various installation images are available for installing CentOS. Please read through the other sections before trying an install or reporting an issue. The continuous release (CR) repository makes generally available packages that will appear in the next point release of CentOS, on a testing and hotfix basis until formally released. In CentOS Linux all content from every distribution 'channel' is made available to the user at time of installation.

We have decided not to follow Red Hat's usage of Installation Roles. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove Red Hat's branding and artwork. You can read our official product announcement for this release here.ĬentOS conforms fully with Red Hat's redistribution policy and aims to have full functional compatibility with the upstream product.

The CentOS Linux distribution is a stable, predictable, manageable and reproducible platform derived from the sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 1. Hello and welcome to the seventh CentOS-7 release. See this link if you plan to use Security Profiles.

If certified / verified software that has guaranteed assurance is what you are looking for, then you likely do not want to use CentOS Linux. The Security Profiles provided in the CentOS Linux installers are a conversion of the ones included in RHEL Source Code. The CentOS Project does not provide any verification, certification, or software assurance with respect to security for CentOS Linux.
