as a midstream between Fedora Linux and RHEL.

platform for innovation. The CentOS Project is a 
community-driven free software effort focused around
the goal of providing a rich base platform for open

We work with several ‘upstream’ communities to help them
layer and distribute their software more effectively on
a platform they can rely on. Centos 9 Stream Works!
