| 作为一个团体，CentOS是一个开源软件贡献者和用户的社区。典型的CentOS用户包括这样一些组织和个人，他们并不需要专门的商业支持就能开展成功
的业务。CentOS是Red Hat Enterprise Linux的100%兼容的重新组建，并完全符合Red
Hat的再发行要求。CentOS面向那些需要企业级操作系统稳定性的人们，而且并不涉及认证和支持方面的开销。 Karanbir Singh has announced the release of CentOS 5.3, a Linux distribution rebuilt from source package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3: "We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS 5.3 for the i386 and x86_64 architectures. CentOS 5.3 is based on the upstream release EL 5.3, and includes packages from all variants, including server and client. This release brings in a completely new artwork stack. Given the widespread requests for user contributed packages directly being hosted within the CentOS repositories, the contribs repository is now back with CentOS 5.3. There are no packages yet, but over the next few weeks we hope to have a policy and process in place that allows users to submit and manage packages in the contribs repository." See the release announcement and release notes for a detailed list of changes.
