I lack knowledge of how the community inspired Centos project started. I
remember squabbles over the domain name which was satisfactorily
resolved.

Not many people have the time and mental ability (both are needed) to
acquire the knowledge to create a rebuilding of RHEL.  Using Centos
requires less intellectual effort than literally starting from the
absolute beginning with RHEL sources.

Thinking positively about Centos, we share as
users/installers/administrators and problem solvers a really great and
very practical alternative to the world of M$.

Centos is used for millions, if not trillions, of operating systems.
Many use it but very few contribute technical assistance or money to the
continuing Centos project.  Without Centos what would we do ?  SL or the
Debian family or the BSDs or Solaris ?

Despite negative, unhappy and wrong things that have occurred, the
Centos project has continued to our personal advantage. It would be nice
if the unhappy things of the past could be amicably resolved and we all
become one big, happy and very satisfied world-wide family.

Lots of people have contributed directly in Centos or as package
re-builders for Centos suitable repositories.  To all those people, I
would like to say "Thank You".
