We decided that it was when something was accomplished, not when something was formed ... and we wanted to base the anniversary a release. Then we needed to pick which release we wanted to base it on. We decided to base it on the release date of CentOS-2.1. Technically, the CentOS-3.1 release date (19 March 2004) happened earlier than the CentOS-2.1 release date (14 May 2004) ... but since EL 2.1 was released before EL 3.0 (or 3.1) by Red Hat, we decided to go with the CentOS-2.1 release date. So, that is the reason. Thanks for your input. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
