The news I have for all lovers of this Red Hat RHEL clone distribution is that the final version is now available.
What does Centos 7 bring us?
This version includes, as is well known, Kernel 3.10, Gnome 3.8.4 or KDE 4.10 and its default file manager is XFS although of course it can be used EXT4 o BTRFS although I fully recommend XFS for its impeccable performance. Also for desktop lovers MATE, East is available in the EPE repositoryL :).
The other features we already saw well with the notes I announced from RHEL 7 a month ago. So without further ado I leave the direct links for Spain here:
To check the md5 or sha256 sums I leave the corresponding file:
http://centos.mirror.xtratelecom.es/7/isos/x86_64/md5sum.txt
http://centos.mirror.xtratelecom.es/7/isos/x86_64/sha256sum.txt
Greetings guys and do not forget to comment that I am giving it to you before it is official on the website 🙂 :).
Could someone briefly explain what the md5 are?
With md5sum you check the images .. Come on, if you have downloaded the discs correctly ..
Use:
md5sum /ruta_de_la_imagen/CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-GnomeLive.iso
The result of the sum will appear and it should match.
After two days the post appeared .. I just made a guide of what to do after installing:

Sorry petercheco, we hadn't had time to review it. 🙁
Hi Elav,
Thank you for your answer and it is not necessary for you to apologize: D. I am only a little disappointed by the fact that I want to publicize such important news as this and it has not come out. But hey, it is logical that you are not going to be pending 24 hours to see if someone posts something .. It is totally understandable: D. I greet all of you guys, you have a spectacular post 🙂
Good, now wait for the post: "What to do after installing CentOs"
Hahaha…. Seriously, good, to try for my server….
can you use the livecd? there are 32 bts thanks
Those of Red Hat have decided to leave aside 32 bit, they only have a 64 bit version, and although there is discussion among some developers about making a 32 bit version of CentOS, nothing has been made clear yet.
Excellent article, but I think you have confused file system with file manager when you talk about XFS.
It could be .. I apologize 😀
I have always had a question with this distro, is it possible to use it on the desktop, or is it only for servers?
because I have read that it is very good. it's out of curiosity.
Thank you.
Of course you can use it on desktop; it is just that it is not as designed for it as other distros and the handling can be a bit more complicated than, for example, Ubuntu.
Without problems, I have used CentOS 6 as my day-to-day system for a while, except for some packages that were not in the repositories and that could not be compiled because the versions of the libraries were somewhat late.
As for CentOS 7 (aka RHEL 7), it's basically Fedora 19, which is still officially supported by Fedora, until Fedora 21 comes out.
Of course you can use it and in Taringa leave a post on how to configure it to be used for that purpose 😀

Thanks for the answers.
Greetings.
GNOME 3.8.4? No thanks. I better stick with XFCE.
And by the way, does CentOS 7 come with the Classic Shell that will come in RHEL? Because I get the impression that CentOS 7 is based on the RC from RHEL 7.
The best thing about this release is that Red Hat has already dedicated its official backport to it in case you want to add extra features to the RHEL clone child.
I pray that they have lightened the Anaconda graphical installer, because I tried it the other time and it did not boot on video cards smaller than 96 MB's.
Hello eliotime3000,
I assure you that it is worth using Gnome from version 3.8 since the change it has made is more than spectacular. I use KDE or XFCE since I tried Debian with its Gnome-Shell 3.4 still in testing and I hated it. Now I use it for two months in a row without problem and it is the fastest and most productive desktop that exists in Linux .. Seriously speaking ..
Indeed, CentOS starts by default with Gnome-classic, but from the GDM you can select the Gnome-Shell since Gnome-classic is built based on plugins on top of Gnome-Shell. Gnome-Shell is much more comfortable for me.
CentOS is not based on the RHEL RC but on the final RHEL compiling all the source code. Considering that Red Hat sponsored CentOS, it didn't take a month for it to appear, which I think is very good news compared to RHEL 6 / CentOS 6.
Also, you have a CentOS-7-live-KDE available if you don't like Gnome .. I recommend you try it .. 🙂
Well, let's see how the GNOME Classic-Shell will do, because the truth is that the GNOME 3 Shell didn't even fit with the keyboard combinations.
You can also use the Cinnamon 2.0.14 or Mate 1.8 desktop available from the EPEL repository 😀
What happened to Slackware, petercheco?
Well Slackware is a very good distro, but I got fed up with so much compilation .. CentOS is a perfect distro and everything related to Red Hat is standard nowadays .. 😀
Bah. Slackware repos they are also available in ready-to-use binaries (which Gentoo doesn't give you).
Don't worry, I also hate having to compile the damn packages (hence my resentment with Slackbuilds).
I told you, compiling Chromium for three and a half hours on my laptop as it is not funny: D .. What I need is to have the software available from now on and that the repository that offers it is safe .. The Salix or Slackel repos they don't seem that way to me. RHEL / CentOS are something else apart from being a standard in the linux world :).
And the same thing happens with Gentoo and in this regard with USEs.
Better to use BIN.
k1kin It is not that the binary is better, in fact it seems very comfortable to have the entire system compiled, because you know its scope and in a certain way you are more aware of it. Where it is very good is in low-resource computers. You compile it into a powerful one, and there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Even so, it seems that Sabayon is an option worth seeing.
I recommend waiting for Stella 7 to come out, it is a clone of CentOS but oriented to the desktop
Hey colleagues, excuse me for a moment's disbelief ... Has anyone had the same problem as me to make the mouse work on the LiveCD?
I had the same problem with CentOS6 and Stella, I assumed it was a kernel problem and I waited for the next version since I was lazy to have to do a netinstall with the keyboard, however ... the same thing happens to me. It's funny because in Fedora it works for me, in OpenSUSE it works for me, in other RPM it works for me, not to mention the Debian and Arch world.
I've read about the problem, but it doesn't seem to have a quick fix for me as my motherboard doesn't have IOMMU in principle. Could someone give me a cable?
@petercheco I think it would be convenient to highlight that what is in the EPEL repo for Centos 7 is still in beta, I mean, just in case you will be showered with a series of epithets if something breaks, hehe.
Hello and thanks for your comment .. In effect the repo is still in beta but in less than a week it will be considered complete (final) .. The guys from Fedora are finishing migrating some packages (there are less than 100 left) .. They are packages that are not important and very, very, very little used .. Whoever uses them knows that they are not available yet :).
Does anyone know where they are called and where I get the desktop theme and the icons that are in the images for this same distribution?
If you mean the theme and icons in my guide they are Numix Theme and Numix-circle icons
Downloadable from http://numixproject.org/
I would like to know which one you recommend which of those options helps me to start it up in a virtual machine, since I downloaded one and I got error, I did not download it from this page. It would be optimal for them to answer me 😀
