Hi,

sorry for this -possibly silly- question: I want to buy hardware that is
proven to work fine with RHEL 5.4 . Does this mean that it will work
100% with CentOS 5.4, too?

CU,
M�szi.

Daniel,


99% YES, 100% can only be answered by the coders of CentOS.

The code is mainly RHEL, recompiled with the Red Hat trademarks.


Kind regards,

Normally yes, CentOS is 99.9 % compatible with RHEL.
Note: there already is CentOS release 5.5, so after you install 5.4,
just let it update itself immediately to 5.5 (or download/install
5.5 directly).
