Hello, I am a Windows convert basically, but as a newbie, thinking of stability and a virus free OS, and the features like that of a server, I have come here. Well said that I am absolutely new, I would know the things in the course of time, since it is different from my daily job....... Can one please let me know about the difference between the two DVD torrents: CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent<http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent>and CentOS-6.0-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent<http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent>(which I found at http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/) Which one I have to download and install? Further at the same page (i.e., at http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/6.0/isos/x86_64/), there are two more options of DVD1 and DVD2, so are these two more I have to download? Also for what purpose we have 'minimal' and 'netinstall'? Thanks and Regards.

I don't know about other languages (like cantonese, armenian or croatian). Apologies for the spellos. -- Regards, Rajagopal
