After weeks of testing, CentOS 7 has been released. For a list of RELEASE NOTES, please see the Wiki.

CentOS falls in line with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, released just 26 days ago. It is also worth noting that an ALPHA release of Scientific Linux 7.0 is also available for testing.

    Don't get me started on audio subsystems (sun, oss, alsa, esound, arts, pulse, etc), unnecessary graphical boot menus that screw up serial / ipmi, ever-changing initrd, the back and forth with dcop, bonobo, dbus hald, systemd, pam, udev, etc., and all the time some of them spend fighting with each other...

    This is supposed to be the "Bazaar" model of development - try it out and see what sticks.. unfortunately some bad stuff might get through, but it should (in theory), get fixed... if you look at the list of items added in the last 10 years or so, you can also see the following additions - luks, usb3, opengl 4, better 64bit support, kvm, the open source radeon and NVidia drivers.
    The idea is that the various distributors are supposed to fit in what they want e.g. no system etc.. in order to meet what their users would most likely want, so I guess if you don't like what RedHat is doing, tell them off and move to another distribution.
