I hope what I have read from the CentOS team comes true! I really want CentOS to succeed as replacement for Windoze(whatever release). But in the meantime I cannot delete all the Win. stuff even though its must have multiple gigabytes of hdd, gigs of RAM and MIPs galore. Linux doesn’t even require all this unique license nonsense. What a great idea.that is. Donations to CentOS is a bargain compared to what MS shakes down its customers for. We have support from the most esoteric to the simplest of questions don’t go unanswered.

@John, Your comment is totally off-topic. I strongly suggest you use our excellent tech support forum. See this FAQ about resetting root password. HTH

For the last couple of months I have been taking Unix/Linux at school. I have forgotten I have forgotten my sign-on and password information. This has caused me only to log-on at school. If someone can e-mail me the procedure(s) to be able to log-on to my laptop, so I may be more flexible to log-on where ever I wish, I would be very happy.

Thank you,
John Barry

Update from CentOS.org

The CentOS Development team had a routine meeting today with Lance Davis in attendance. During the meeting a majority of issues were resolved immediately and a working agreement was reached with deadlines for remaining unresolved issues. There should be no impact to any CentOS users going forward.
The CentOS project is now in control of the CentOS.org and CentOS.info domains and owns all trademarks, materials, and artwork in the CentOS distributions.
We look forward to working with Lance to quickly complete all the agreed upon issues.
More information will follow soon.

There’s nothing wrong with a single person ruling a private business organization so long as there is a plan of succession. It might be useful to setup a trust / trustee arrangement.

I’m glad to hear that things are being worked out. Thank you all for your collaborarative efforts. I use many distributions including CentOS.

# CentOS is not dead or going away. The signers of the Open Letter are fully committed to continue the CentOS Project. Updates and new releases will continue.

* sigh *

It’s FUD like this that gets me a little upset.

From actually reading the open letter, the *last* thing that is going to happen is CentOS is going to die.

Please, people, read the original letter.

Worst case scenario – the CentOS product moves to a new domain, new repository, new irc rooms etc. It may even get a new name. But it doesn’t seem even remotely possible that the product is going to die. Nor, does it even remotely seem that the product is in trouble. As an end user, all this means is you will install a new version of CentOS2 (to pick a name at random) rather than CentOS when it comes out. Nothing really has changed.

The only way CentOS would be in trouble, is if the founder Lance stays recluse AND all the developers around it decide it’s not worth the trouble any more and simply stop working on it. But quite obviously this couldn’t be further from the truth. Especially

I think the title of this article should be ‘CentOS under some growing pains’, which seems closer to the trurth than ‘in trouble’, which it clearly is not.

…and having said all that – if you check the CentOS project today, it seems many of the issues have been resolved. To copy/paste:

The CentOS Development team had a routine meeting today with Lance Davis in attendance. During the meeting a majority of issues were resolved immediately and a working agreement was reached with deadlines for remaining unresolved issues. There should be no impact to any CentOS users going forward.

The CentOS project is now in control of the CentOS.org and CentOS.info domains and owns all trademarks, materials, and artwork in the CentOS distributions.
