Re: I have RHel6. How does that turn into Centos 6?

On top of that, it just seems logical granted the RHEL binary compatibility thing.  It's used by many apps to detect the distro you're using, so...

I could easily be confused as it has been so long now... I think
Whitebox actually changed that to whitebox-release and maybe CentOS did
the save very early on. But, many applications look for that file and if
they see redhat-release, know their stuff can run on your system and you
are off to the races. I suppose the final answer was it wasn't an
infringement and solved a lot of other problems. Seems I had to edit
this file or name to get something to run on a server like 4 or 5 years
ago?

Am I required to remember everything I did from that long back? LOL
There might be some stuff in the archives though... back in the early
ver. 3 days.
