CentOS 5.8 Officially Released.!

Hey guys
 finally here is another release of linux operating system now this time it is CentOS .


About CentOS 5.8


CentOS is a community enterprise operating system, based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources and 


available for the following architectures: Intel 32-bit, Intel IA-64 (Itanium 64-bit), 64-bit (AMD's AMD64 


and 


Intel's Intel 64). Additionally, CentOS is a 100% free Linux distribution fully compatible with Red Hat 


Enterprise Linux.


CentOS 5.8 is available as an installable DVD ISO image (see download link at the end of the article) for 


both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and it is based on the upstream release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 


5.8.

Released within a week from the Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.8, the CentOS 5.8 distribution contains lots 



of updated packages, bugfixes and new functionality.

As usual with a new CentOS release, this one also includes packages from all Red Hat Enterprise Linux 



variants, including Client, Server, Clustering and Virtualization. The upstream software repositories have 


been combined into a single one for this release, helping end users to work easy with it.



Existing CentOS 5.x users can upgrade to the new CentOS 5.8 release via YUM, running the "yum update


command in root terminal window.





"Upgrading from CentOS-5.7 ( or CentOS-5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5/5.6): If you are already running 


CentOS-5.7 or any older CentOS-5 version then all you need to do is update your machine via yum 


by running : 'yum update'"

"Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so you can get a list of 



packages that are going to be updated." - said Johnny Hughes in the official release announcement.

Moreovoer, the CentOS 5.8 operating system was completely rebuilt using a brand-new build system and 



library checks, in order to confirm Red Hat Enterprise Linux binary compatibility.
