+# CentOS
+
+CentOS (abbreviated from Community Enterprise Operating System) is a Linux
+distribution that attempts to provide a free, enterprise-class,
+community-supported computing platform which aims to be 100% binary compatible
+with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). In January 2014, it
+was announced that CentOS was officially joining forces with Red Hat while
+staying independent from RHEL, under a new CentOS Governing Board.
+
+> [wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS)
+
+This is the official CentOS image, and will be updated on a regular schedule or
+as needed for emergency fixes.
+
+The `centos:latest` tag will always point to the most recent version currently
+available, and `centos:6` will point to the latest version of the CentOS 6 tree.
