NO NO NO!!!

CentOS has NO relation to Whitebox Linux AT ALL, NONE!!  The Whitebox
Linux (WBEL at www.whiteboxlinux.org) guy has not joined up with cAos
to produce CentOS, nor is he a part of that group.  He is also quite
behind on his updates as the website will show (by over a month or
more).

There is a person from www.whiteboxlinux.net (NOT related to the WBEL
distro) who joined the cAos team.

CentOS is its OWN derivation of RHEL and is NOT a "child of whitebox".

See my other message in this thread for more information about CentOS.

...thus ends this public service announement
