CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System) is a recompiled product based on RHEL‘s (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) open source. Because CentOS fixed a lot of known bugs on the basis of RHEL, compared with other Linux distributions, its stability is more trustworthy. This is the reason a lot of servers requiring high stability use CentOS to replace the commercial RHEL.

The Definitive Guide to CentOS is the first authoritative guide about CentOS Linux – an excellent Linux distribution serving small and medium enterprises behind the scenes. This book covers all major technical areas of CenOS 5, you can get a general idea from its Table Of Contents.
