 CentOS 5, touted as a '100 percent compatible' rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, was released today, featuring the GNOME desktop and a 2.6.18 kernel.
CentOS targets those who need enterprise-class operating system stability
without the cost of certification and support, chief maintainer Karanbir Singh
said.

Manager and libvirt
