Download CentOS 6.3 CD / DVD ISO

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.3
for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. Release Notes for 6.3
are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.3 -
we recommend everyone looks through those once.

CentOS-6.3 is based on the upstream release EL 6.3 and includes packages
from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into
one, to make it easier for end users to work with.

All updates released since upstream 6.3 release are also released to the
CentOS-6.3 mirrors.

Downloading CentOS-6.3 for new installs:

When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Usually its
also the fastest means to download the distro.

Torrent files for the DVD's are available at :
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/i386/CentOS-6.3-i386-bin-DVD1to2.torrent
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-bin-DVD1to2.torrent

You can also use a mirror close to you :
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30

Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync.

Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some
might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content.

We have also made efforts to try and ensure that most install types and
roles can be run from DVD-1 itself. 

BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0.0 VMware Image + Dev Tools on Linux Mac & Windows

BlackBerry Playbook OS 2.0.0 loaded into VMware to use for testing applications and whatever else you might want the system for. This is the latest release of the BlackBerry PlayBook OS as of 03/03/2012, so it includes the Android Runtime.

The image works on Windows, Linux + Mac and is a self-extracting .exe, the actual image is ~600MB. I added in the BlackBerry Dev Tools so you can install applications and so on (there's a guide URL if you need to know how to do it).

Watch the setup to see how to set it up (obviously) : video Tutorial

The Self-Extractor should have the following hashes:
