Here is the download page : http://wiki.centos.org/Download

I would recommend using the 32bit version because it will probably be faster that the 64bit.  At least that is my understanding due to cache management.

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?

TIA

George

Ok,  That did not come out right.  I know he is using an HP.  What I meant to say is it has been a long time since anyone has used serial keyboards.  So I assume Linux would load just fine.

I just installed CentOS 6 on a Dell with USB keyboard and mouse.  Worked fine for me.

Sorry to change the subject but I am having troubles posting to PLUG.  I keep getting a bad address.
CentOS
on a USB Keyboard Box - Next Install-Fest
A friend has an HP (I
think HP) box, with a USB keyboard, which came with some flavour of
Windows. It got a virus and he wiped the drive only to find that in
order to reload the OS, he needs the USB keyboard which is not
available to install the OS until the OS is installed.

I have been touting
Linux for many years and he is interested. When is the next
Install-fest? Can CentOS be installed given the USB keyboard? If
so, what all should he bring?

TIA

George

That's weird that the path info was in the message.  I did an "edit as new" on a message from last month and that file was already attached... and that file was moved to another computer weeks ago, so it couldn't have grabbed it from the file system... and come to think of it I just sent it from a completely different computer to boot.  Oh well...

    close to both the south 202 and 101 freeways.  Public transportation

    To get to the room that we meet, just enter the door that faces

    Desert Breeze and make your first left, you can't miss it, as it's

    the only place to go.
