Hi all,

I'm very glad to have found this list as I've made a leap of faith and installed CentOS5 as my new testbed/dev machine.

An advance 'thank you' to all more experienced than I for answers and a promise to be concise in my (surely about to become) abundant questions and just as forthcoming with answers I may have to help others.

Regards from sunny Florida, US.

Welcome to CentOS! I am myself fairly "new" in the CentOS world. You will soon find that you've made the right choice.

Thanks for the welcome, Akemi.

I'm not new to Linux...have been using various RH/Fedora products, though I cut my teeth heavily back in the early 90s with FreeBSD and more recently Slackware. I like the support structures in the RHbased distros, and as my primary (money making) servers run RH releases, I'm confident, also, that this was not only the right choice but a great one.

Thanks again, ~R

Welcome to the club, Ray! I'm also an ex-Slacker, started Linux when 7.1 came out, used it for a while, hopped distros for a while, came back to Slack for a few years... then a few months ago decided to move to CentOS, and I think I've made a good choice. I'm a modest sysadmin of a network of eleven public libraries, plus a few town halls and public cyber-cafés. I started to install these (servers and clients) with Debian last summer, but recently found out that CentOS 5 is the better choice. The doc on the centos site (RHEL guide + wiki) is excellent.

Cheers,

Hi and *thanks*, Niki,

I'm looking forward to all that the OS and this list has to offer!
