[sf-lug] Distribution Release: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6

Just a brief clarification, in case there are people who don't know:
Shortly after each RHEL release (such as the just-released RHEL7 Update
6) comes out, the CentOS people swap in their branding for the Red Hat
trademark-encumbered branding and recompile/rebuild the entire operating
system from the otherwise-unmodified RHEL source code.  They then
propagate out those binary RPMs and ISO files as the latest release of
CentOS.  (This typically happens a few days after each RHEL release.)

The point is that CentOS _literally is_ unbranded RHEL, unbundled from
Red Hat, Inc. contracts and commercial support.  Other than that,
there's no difference.

Cheers,                                         I could maybe do one pilate.
