Raimo, the difference is that CentOS distribution is totally free, the 
contrbution is 100% voluntary , not required in any way.

Lineox 'free' downloads are out of date releases, held back for 30 days - 
which means that unless you pay your server may have security issues 
unfixed for that period, whereas CentOS downloads of isos and updates are 
always free .....

You seem to have a new meaning for the word 'free'
