CentOS 7.6 (1810)
CentOS is a community-sponsored distro closely tied with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). CentOS Linux is a popular and inexpensive option for web servers and other systems that benefit from enterprise-grade engineering without the need for costly subscription agreements. The latest release comes with source code derived from RHEL 7.5.
