The first stable release of cAos is out: "Finally... cAos-1.0 has been released. All of the blocking/showstopping bugs have been resolved, and many of the developers are already using it in production. With that said, keep in mind there are many packages outside of the core that are still stabilizing (thus you may see frequent updates). Please post bug reports to bugzilla so that they may be resolved quickly and don't fall between the cracks." To install cAos, you will need to download its installation ISO image, called "Cinch": cinch.iso (137MB) and follow these instructions to install a core system. Additional packages can then be installed with 'yum'. cAos is a Red Hat-based distribution with the goal to provide a stable operating system for enterprises; find out more at caosity.org.

Interview with Head of cAos Foundation |
|
Linux Times has published an interview with Greg M. Kurtzer, the leader of cAos Foundation of cAos and CentOS fame: "There are 2 successful community based distributions available (Debian and Gentoo), but neither uses RPM which is what a large percentage of the community has standardized on. One of the reasons why there has been little need for the community to create this was because it was supplied by a distribution vendor for free. While the vendor still developed the distribution in a closed and commercial manner, it was well maintained, and updates were very reliable. The community seemed satisfied. Recently this model changed leaving a niche open for a freely available solution that had a reasonable life span of updates and maintenance." Read the full interview here.
