Inorder to help ease the workload for our primary mirror network, the source rpms are not kept in the same tree as the binary packages. If you need the source packages used to build CentOS, you can find them in our vault vault.centos.org.

CentOS would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. We would like to thank the following product/service for being a CentOS sponsor. If you value our work, please consider becoming a sponsor!


CentOS Linux 6.10 is derived from source code released by Red Hat, Inc.

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10. All upstream variants have been placed

into one combined repository to make it easier for end users.

Workstation, server, and minimal installs can all be done from our

combined repository. All of our testing is only done against this

combined distribution.


There are various changes in this release, compared with the

past CentOS Linux 6 releases, and we highly recommend everyone study the

upstream Release Notes as well as the upstream Technical Notes about the

changes and how they might impact your installation. (See the 'Further

Reading' section if the CentOS release notes link above).


All updates since the upstream 6.10 release are also on the CentOS

mirrors as zero day updates. When installing CentOS-6.10 (or any other

version) from any of our media, you should always run 'yum update' after

the install to apply these.


Users consuming our CentOS-CR repositories will already be running most

of the packages that make up CentOS-6.10, and all updates released since.

They will notice only the a few updates today when moving to CentOS

Linux 6.10. For more

information on the CR repository for future updates, see this link:




CentOS Linux is designed to automatically upgrade between releases

within a major version (in this case, CentOS-6). Unless you have edited

your yum default configuration, a 'yum update' should move your machines

seamlessly from any previous CentOS Linux 6.x release to 6.10. We also

test this in our QA cycles and have noticed no problems, any issues

would be mentioned in the Release Notes.


The install media is split into various formats. We have made efforts to

ensure that most install types and roles can be done from DVD-1 itself,

and the minimal install ISO is only tested to deliver a minimal install

set, when used as an ISO format ( either on cd or usb ). While other

forms of installs ( eg. pxe delivered ) might work from the minimal ISO,

they are neither tested not supported. The only format where we support

the entire set of install options and delivery mechanisms is via the

complete CentOS Linux 6.10 tree, which can also be created by

consolidating all content from DVD1 and DVD2.


Images for various on-premise and off-premise Cloud environments are

currently under development for CentOS Linux 6.10 and will be released in

the coming days. Everyone looking to join and help with the CentOS Cloud

efforts is encouraged to join the CentOS-devel list where such issues

are discussed ( -devel ).


The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki

( ) which lists various options and

communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in

the system, do report it at - but keep in mind

that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. If you need supported

software with Support Level Agreements, people to call and response

times then we recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux.


If you would like to get involved in helping organize, run, present or

sponsor a CentOS Dojo or even just want more details then join the

CentOS Promo list:

-promo and drop an email

introducing yourself. We are very keen to find help to run events around

the world, and also to find people who can represent CentOS at various

community events around the world. (Current Events List:

)


We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in

the project. If you are keen to help out a good place to start is the

wiki page at . If you have questions

or a specific area you would like to contribute towards that is not

covered on that page, feel free to drop in on #centos-devel at

irc.freenode.net for a chat or email the centos-devel list

( ).


A special shout out to all the donors who have contributed hardware,

network connectivity, hosting and resources over the years. The CentOS

project now has a fairly well setup resource pool, solely thanks to the

donors.


Hello, I'm from Brazil, I'm currently using Ubuntu Linux 16.

I would like to test other distributions, and install on the computer, like centos, I have 2 doubts .:1-my computer has i386 architecture 32bits, cent os will work?; 2-centos has live cd / dvd desktop version to test and see if it recognizes my hardware? Thanks for the help


My disk failed and required replacement. I backed up my data on anther disk and the hosting company removed it prior to replacing corrupted disk. Now I have a fresh install (Centos 6.10) and would like to mount the backup disk "sdb". I'm not able to do so as the disk is entirely a single partition.The command doesnt work:


My backup disk is sdb. The hosting provider support said it seems that there is a compatibility issue between the partition formatter and the mounter.I appreciate any support or ideas that will help me mount the backup disk.


I don't know if this is the source of your problem, but I was able to reproduce this error by creating an ext4 filesystem using mkfs.ext4 v1.43.4 with the 'metadata_csum' feature, and trying to mount that filesystem with the mount found centos-6.10 (mount v2.17.2).


So the first thing I would do is try to mount the backup drive using the current version of Centos. If that works, then copy the data off the drive for safe keeping. (Backup your backup, and do a test restore).


Please try to live boot a host with the backup drive using different linux flavors. Live boot usually map the existing drives without any Hassel if any one the flavor works for you,copy the data to external drive. Then clean install the host with your backup disk and format it. By this it may take some time but it exposes you to less risk.


Hello, is there any way to run certbot-auto on 32bit CentOS 6.10? SCL is available only for 64 bit OS as far as I can tell. I can install Python 3.5 without any problem so is there any reason it needs a python from SCL specificaly?


For now, you can safely use the latest version of certbot-auto and I'd recommend doing so if you're not going to upgrade your OS, however, I think a version in the near future is going to have to drop support for 32 bit CentOS 6. Too many of our dependencies are dropping support for the software available on that platform. You could try to install newer versions of Python and OpenSSL if you wanted but that's not entirely trivial.


We haven't decided what exactly certbot-auto's behavior will be on 32 bit CentOS 6 when support is dropped, but I expect it'll be similar to the behavior your currently getting with --no-self-upgrade where you will not get any new security/compatibility fixes to Certbot but the script continues to work for now probably with warning messages telling you about these problems.


Thanks for the edit !

On CentOS 6.8, I had the very exact same message than on the first post (CentOS 6.10). Thanks so much for those automated warning emails from letsencrypt about the expiration date getting too close. I was about 9 days from a big big problem and would not have been aware (thing is, I hate updates on something that works !)

So all I had to do was these three steps :


I was trying to understand how to install nvidia driver in an old System like CentOS 6.10. I saw that on the driver download page how to Download a Linux Driver with compatibility based on nvidia gpu.


CentOS (/ˈsɛntɒs/, from Community Enterprise Operating System; also known as CentOS Linux)[5][6] is a discontinued Linux distribution that provided a free and open-source community-supported computing platform, functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).[7][8] In January 2014, CentOS announced the official joining with Red Hat while staying independent from RHEL,[9] under a new CentOS governing board.[10][11]


The first CentOS release in May 2004, numbered as CentOS version 2, was forked from RHEL version 2.1AS.[1] Since version 8, CentOS officially supports the x86-64, ARM64, and POWER8 architectures, and releases up to version 6 also supported the IA-32 architecture. As of December 2015[update], AltArch releases of CentOS 7 are available for the IA-32 architecture, Power ISA, and for the ARMv7hl and AArch64 variants of the ARM architecture.[12][13] CentOS 8 was released on 24 September 2019.[14]


In December 2020, Red Hat unilaterally terminated CentOS development[15][16][17][18] in favor of CentOS Stream, a distribution positioned upstream of RHEL.[19] In March 2021, CloudLinux (makers of CloudLinux OS) released a RHEL derivative called AlmaLinux.[20] Later in May 2021, one of the CentOS founders (Gregory Kurtzer) created the competing Rocky Linux project as a successor to the original mission of CentOS.[21]


CentOS originated as a build of CAOS Linux, an RPM-based Linux distribution started by Gregory Kurtzer in 2002.[22][23][24] Infiscale described its GravityOS as "[including] the small footprint of Caos",[25] indicating a certain level of influence from the discontinued distribution.


In June 2006, David Parsley, the primary developer of Tao Linux (another RHEL clone), announced the retirement of Tao Linux and its rolling into CentOS development. Tao users migrated to the CentOS release via .mw-parser-output .monospacedfont-family:monospace,monospaceyum update.[26]


In July 2009, it was reported in an open letter on the CentOS Project web site that one of CentOS's founders, Lance Davis, had disappeared in 2008. Davis had ceased contribution to the project, but continued to hold the registration for the CentOS domain and PayPal account. In August 2009, the CentOS team reportedly made contact with Davis and obtained the centos.info and centos.org domains.[27]
