RHEL 4(.1) vs CentOS 4(.1)

[BoXie]

Hi,

Plesk 7.5.4 will support Redhat Ent. 4 (v4.1 i hope also).

Does this mean it will support CentOS 4.1 also automatically ? (maybe after some modification to the 'release file')

Are the version numbers and system internals of Centos exactly the same as Redhat ?

we have installed the 7.5.4 beta on Centos 4.1 without problems. We had to alter the /etc/redhat-release file.

RHEL x = CentOS x
RHEL x update y = CentOS x.y

so CentOS 4.1 = RHEL4 update 1
and CentOS 3.5 = RHEL 3 update 5

the rpm numbers are the same, except that "rhel" is sometimes changed to "centos"

Ok thanks,

Can the /etc/redhat-release file be restored to its original state after Plesk's install ?

Pretty strange the beta doesn't support CentOS 4 out-of-the-box yet, since it DOES support RHEL 4 .... SW-Soft has the opportunity to officially support an entire OS by just modifying 1 line of code i guess.

yes, you can restore it...

I have now

[root@xs ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
RedHat Enterprise Linux 4
CentOS release 4.1 (Final)
