CentOS developer and maintainer Johnny Hughes is pleased to announce today, April 5, 2017, the release and general availability of the CentOS Linux 6.9 operating system.

Derived from the freely distributed source code for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9, which is the last update to the 6.x series of the operating system, CentOS Linux 6.9 borrows all of its security patches and internal components. This also appears to be the last point release for the CentOS 6.x operating system series.

“All upstream variants have been placed into one combined repository to make it easier for end users. Workstation, server, and minimal installs can all be done from our combined repository. All of our testing is only done against this combined distribution,” said Johnny Hughes in the mailing list announcement.
