NOTE
CentOS is available free of charge. We do accept (non-financial) donations for improving, hosting and promoting CentOS. If CentOS is important to you, please support the long-term viability of the CentOS project.
The program comes with a full powered website download manager that lets the users decide which web pages and files should be downloaded and which ones avoided. For example, if you are interested in pictures only, you can set the program to download JPEG images only, avoiding all the others files. There also are size and location filters. Download the zip file sent to you from DiskWarrior, if you have not already. Double-click the zip file to extract the DiskWarrior disk image. DiskWarrior 4.4 Bootable DVD (Mac OSX) 1.18 GB DiskWarrior is the essential Mac disk utility. Version 4.4: This release features ongoing internal enhancements for speed and improved repair.
Please use one of our many mirrors to download CentOS.
DiskWarrior 5.2 - Popular and powerful disk utility. Download the latest versions of the best Mac apps at safe and trusted MacUpdate. DiskWarrior will recover your documents, photos, music and any other files when disaster strikes and you lose access to your files.

A comparison of the abilities and limitations of CentOS Linux can be found here on the wiki.
In general every release receives bugfixes, feature enhancements and new hardware support until 4 years after general availability, and security fixes until 7 years after general availability (beginning with CentOS Linux 5, this period has been extended from 4 to approx. 7 and from 7 to 10 years {assuming the upstream sources remain available for ten years})
For more information about the support life cycle of CentOS Linux, take a look at Red Hat's Errata Support Policy page.
Basically, if source is released publicly upstream, the CentOS Project will build and release updates for as long as possible. We have done this for all previous versions and will for all future versions.
Please note Red Hat's policy on Production Phase 3, which normally starts at the 7 year point. In that phase, only those security updates deemed crucial are released in this phase. It is recommended that you plan to upgrade before this point whenever possible.
New major and minor releases are available about 2 to 6 weeks after upstream (Red Hat) publishes the SRPMs (source packages) of their product. This time is needed to rebuild, validate, test (QA), translate and integrate new artwork. Please see The CentOS Rebuild and Release Process for further details. Although we understand that some of our users are excited about a new upcoming release, we ask you to be patient or help out in the release process.
The CentOS project does not offer any of the various approaches to extended life for an earlier point release which its upstream occasionally does for its subscribing clientèle. Once a new point release is issued (say: 6.3, following 6.2), no further source packages (from which updates can be built) are released for the earlier version and therefore CentOS is no longer able to produce security or other updates. After a transition interval of a few weeks, the old point version binaries are moved to the vault. There is a longer discussion at item 15 in the FAQ for more details.
Aside from the normal DVD and CD ISO images, the CentOS project occasionally releases special ISO images. Not all point releases get fresh spins of what is substantially unchanging content; if the latest and greatest refresh point spin does not have what you seek, you may wish to use the last version seen for a LiveCD or ServerCD, and as appropriate run updates in a post-install process:
netinstall - Minimal CD image to start network installations (<10M)
The netinstall iso will only work with the corresponding point release, eg one cannot use the netinstall from CentOS Linux 6.2 to install CentOS Linux 6.3.
