The other day, I had to install the CentOS 6.6 operating system on the server according to the requirements for software versions, although CentOS 7 has already been released, because I decided to make an installation instruction with detailed screenshots of version 6.6.
CentOS A Linux distribution based on and compatible with Red Hat's commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Enterprise Linux consists of free open source software, but is available as binary package discs only for paying subscribers. As required by the license GPL Red Hat provides all the source code. CentOS developers use this source code to create a final product very close to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and available for download. There are other clones of Red Hat Enterprise Linux based on this code.
