Still thriving, to my knowledge. Scientific Linux is also out there as well.
My recollection is that Red Hat was actually working directly w/ CentOS on some things to streamline their build processes. Red Hat doesn't see CentOS as a threat (as it did OEL).
- Fomite 10y agoI've been quite happy with Scientific Linux.

Why go with the totally unaffiliated community distribution when you can go with Oracle for free (somehow)? I've been using CentOS for some time now, and have never been happier as the release cadence has only gotten better since RH started supporting the project directly. There's no real reason I'd even consider Oracle Linux at this point as a result, considering neither comes with commercial support without purchasing a paid support subscription.
