It's pointless to carry out this discussion. Everything you say is "technically" correct. However, nothing I have said is "technically" wrong.

We have an expression in English that goes "There is more than one way to skin a cat". There is probably something similar in your language.

I will leave this discussion with the following:

I do know the difference between a distribution and an operating system. I could have been clearer in my choice of terms. So could the people who created the CentOS project. After all, looking at the link that you provided, a page that I have visited many times, it occurs to me that you left out the words at the VERY top of the page, ones that occur before the section that you quoted. Perhaps this was an oversight on your part?

"CentOS:
The Community ENTerprise Operating System"

Seems that they are as confused as I am... :)
