<p class=MsoNormal>Ooooooo…<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Have a look at <a href="http://www.centos.org">http://www.centos.org</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>It seems centos is in trouble. One of their founders may be
pulling an Enron. Or more accurately, a SunRocket. (The CEO of SunRocket one
day sold all the equipment, emptied the bank account, and disappeared to some
Caribbean island. The employees learned they were fired when the support lines
stopped ringing, so one of them called the support line from his cell phone to
see what was going on, and got the recording “sunrocket has terminated
all functions. Goodbye.”)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Apparently one guy has always had a stranglehold on centos,
hasn’t been willing or able to grant additional control to other
delegates, and has disappeared from the face of the earth. (over a year ago).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I sincerely doubt centos could truly die. If they have to,
they’ll take a severe setback, get a new domain, rebuild everything from
scratch, and get back into operation. But that would in fact be a severe
setback.<o:p></o:p></p>
