Thanks Keith, I first installed CentOS years ago. I think it was just after the Canadian company bought it from some US company. At that time I got (bought I think) an install CD. I was new to Linux and had failed at several other distributions. CentOS just installed. Is there an install CD (CentOS 6 or 6.4) available today?
