Download CentOS 6.1
Version 6.1 of CentOS has been released. This open source operating system is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and profiles itself for use in enterprise environments. CentOS therefore stands for Community Enterprise Operating System. Unlike RHEL, CentOS is free to use. In terms of popularity, CentOS has been on the list in the last six months eighth place. However, it is the most widely used distribution for web servers. Version 6.1 of CentOS is based on RHEL 6.1, which has been available for six months now.

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.1 install media for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.1 are available here – we recommend everyone looks through those once.
CentOS-6.1 is based on the upstream release EL 6.1 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with.
