Centos questions

[gurutech]

I read on another forum that someone was asking about the stability of certain Linux-based OS's, and one of the versions that came up was Centos, which I have briefly worked with in school (as a VM). I believe Centos is based off of Fedora/Redhat, so I wanted to check it out.

The problem is that it doesn't appear to be distributed in the same way as Fedora (as an ISO file), or at least I couldn't find it in that format. I'm assuming the software is open-source, so there is not a charge for it (similar to Fedora), but I was only able to find sources which appear to be folders with everything on it, similar to if I burned a Fedora ISO to a DVD and opened it in explorer or nautilus.

Are there ISO's available for the most recent version of Centos, and does it perform/operate the same way that Fedora does? If there are no ISO's, do I just download/ftp all the files from each folder and subfolder and then copy the files to a DVD?

Thanks in advance!

There are ISOs available.

For example:
http://centos.arcticnetwork.ca/6.3/isos/

Here's the list of mirrors (I just picked the first in the list, but you can better pick one that is closest to you.
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinyco...ndex.php?id=30

1. Pick a mirror
2. Go to the 6.3/isos/ directory
3. Choose the platform (32-bits (i386) or 64-bits (x86_64))
3. Download the ISO you want.

Must have missed that folder... I went to the OS folder and went from there.... Thanks for the info!
