Centos 6.2 installation tutorial

　　1. Introduction to centos

Centos is one of the releases of Linux. It is safe, stable, and efficient. It is one of my favorite releases of Linux. Centos is compiled based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux open source code, which is essentially different from RedHat Linux. However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercial software and must be paid to RedHat, while centos does not have any restrictions on usage. If you need enterprise-level operating system stability and do not want to pay for service support, centos will be your best choice.
