They are created for specific purposes, such as for providing a live bootable image, or for providing a reduced-size installation media. In addition to those listed below, there are also AltArch releases, which also have no direct upstream equivalents.
LiveCD and LiveDVD images contain a bootable compressed file system, created by a set of custom scripts [] using a kickstart configuration file. After booting from hard disk, yum can be used for adding or removing packages. MinimalCD images contain a minimum of packages required for a functional installation, with no compromises in security or network usability.
These minimal images use the standard CentOS installer with all of its regular features minus the selection of packages. Yum can be used after the installation is completed to add or remove packages. Special interest groups SIGs are organized portions of the CentOS community that open paths for building specialized variants of CentOS, which fulfill specific sets of requirements. SIGs have the freedom to modify and enhance CentOS in various ways, including adding more cutting-edge software, rebuilding existing packages depending on the requirements, providing alternative desktop environments, or making CentOS available on otherwise unsupported architectures.

We are thankful for your never ending support. Is it possible to install the Red hat server version instead of the workstation? The red hat team said the server version will not work!!!
Is there any reason for that? Can I use the license as many times as I want on multiple VMs? I plan to build an Ansible control VM and several nodes and may break and rebuild my lab multiple times. Thanks for the useful tutorial. CentOS, on the other hand, lack enterprise support. Be advised that these two are RPM-based and execution of commands on the terminal is the same. What the purpose for Red Hat to allow us to download free and use their OS as this product is considered a commercial one?
Hey Alexey, thank you for your feedback. On their developer website, they say that you can renew your developer subscription annual but as to how many times you can do that. My assumption is you can continue to do so provided you are using the developer edition.
Have a question or suggestion? Please leave a comment to start the discussion.
