some explanation

I'd never heard of Centos, so I looked it up. It's an interesting idea.

They take the source code for RHEL, build it, and put it on an ISO.

Sounds interesting, I imagine if I were to try and sell my bosses on a Linux system for work they'd want something like RHEL, and this is a way to get hold of it and try it without buying a license. you could get a full prototype going and not need to spend any money until you wanted a real copy with a support contract.

I'm afraid you do me an injustice; I'm not quite vain enough to believe that just because I've never heard of something that means it must be so new that no-one else has either. ;-)

I think I will try it, actually, it sounds very interesting.
