Red Hat To Help Develop CentOS 186

An anonymous reader writes with news that Red Hat and the CentOS project are "joining forces" to develop the next version of CentOS. For years, CentOS has been a popular choice for users who want to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux without having to pay for it. Some of the CentOS developers are moving to Red Hat, but they won't be working on RHEL — they say the "firewall" between the two distros will remain in place. CentOS Project Chair Karanbir Singh said, 'The changes we make are going to be community inclusive, and promoted, proposed, formalised, and actioned in an open community centric manner on the centos-devel mailing list. And I highly encourage everyone to come along and participate.'

    ...and dumping all of our Redhat licenses. There's no need to pay Redhat thousands of dollars when Centos is the same thing. We already have a mix of Centos and Redhat and the Redhat licenses don't give us anything.

    I'm very glad and happy for you that you figured that out. Welcome to 2005. Trust me, it will be a good year for you. I'd hold off on buying that house, though, if I were you...
