CentOS Linux 6.8 officially released

CentOS developer and maintainer Johnny Hughes announced on May 25 that the CentOS Linux 6.8 operating system has been officially released. It is built on the Red Hat 6.8 Enterprise Edition (RHEL) and has made many changes, such as the latest Linux 2.6.32 kernel. It supports storing up to TB of data on the XFS file system; the virtual private network terminal solution in NetworkManager, a network connection management utility, now provides the libreswan Library (instead of the Openswan IPsec previously used ).

The system security service daemon (SSSD) seems to have disabled the SSLv2 protocol by default and supports smart cards.

Johnny Hughes said in the announcement: Compared with CentOS Linux 6, there are many fundamental changes in the current release version, and all the images of the 6.8 high release version have been updated with zero time difference. You can install CentOS 6.8 through various media and run "yum update" frequently after installation ".

CentOS Linux 6.8 also contains many application updates, including long-term support for the LibreOffice 4.3.7 office suite, Squid3.4 cache, and forwarding network proxy. In addition, many applications now support TLS 1.2 (Secure Transport Layer Protocol), such as Git, YUM, Postfix, OpenLDAP, stunnel, and vsftpd.

Other aspects: the "dmidecode" open-source tool (for viewing hardware information) for viewing computer DMI table content in a human-readable format, supports SMBIOS 3.0.0, and obtains kickstart files from HTTPS sources, the NTPd (Network Time Protocol Daemon) package has an optional solution (like chrony); SSLv3 (finally) is disabled by default to ensure user security, the last step is better Hyper-V Support.
