Red Hat clone CentOS 6.0 arrives late, but with security updates

centos56_ld_smThe CentOS community released its Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.0 clone, promising continuous release updates to support RHEL 6.1 security features. In addition to supporting RHEL 6.0 improvements such as faster virtualization, and better scalability, power efficiency, and resource management, CentOS 6.0 is said to offer a completely rebuilt build system and library checks to confirm upstream binary compatibility.

CentOS 6.0, or “CentOS-6.0” as the community prefers it, is compatible with the Red Hat upstream release EL 6.0 and includes packages from all variants, says the community. As usual, this is an almost identical, 100 percent binary compatible clone of RHEL.

CentOS 5.6 shipped in April, about six months after RHEL 5.6 was announced and four months after the final was released, but CentOS 6.0 follows RHEL 6.0 by almost nine months. Obviously, the close release of the two updates — which also represent separate Red Hat product lines — slowed the community-based CentOS project, as did the major changes in RHEL 6.0 itself.
