In fact, CentOS is not now, nor has it ever been *certified* for anything. Certifications require people to PAY to certify a product. Specifically, EAL4 Certification, a requirement for the DOD, costs up to 2.5 million dollars .. see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_Assurance_Level#Impact_on_cost_and_schedule That cost would be for each main version of CentOS (2.1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) .. so the cost to have all 6 previous major versions certified would be: 6 x $2.5 Million = $15 Million dollars. Since CentOS is given away for free ... I can't afford to pay 15 million dollars to have it EAL4 certified .. can anyone on this list? Certifications and security testing and assurance, along with a Service Level Agreement for fixing bugs is why people who require any of those things need to buy RHEL. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
