Additional Linux distributions support - CentOS

Looking at hosting zd&t in the cloud, it would be nice to have a no-cost option as far as OS is concerned. CentOS Linux is free - it would help keep costs down.

    IBM has reevaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 12 months from the date of decline. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.

    Thank you for submitting this RFE. This is consistent with our plans for the product and will be prioritized for future consideration.
    For now you can also consider using Ubuntu, which is supported, until the CentOS option is available.
