<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:navy'>We are a Channel product team
within LSI and we are trying to add Cent OS 5.5 to our compatibility Matrix. We
found out that LSI currently has a relationship with CentOS for another project
on the Internal Storage division but not with the OS Certification team. We
require some information on CentOS which will help us plan the deliverables.
And considering the timelines we need to deliver at it will be great if someone
from CentOS can help us out in this regard. If anybody else also can answer
these in the mailing list, we would be grateful. The questions that we have are
as follows:-<o:p></o:p></span></p>
