Vince, i understand.
Long story... the CentOS 7 is required for an ICOM radio software called D-STAR ver 3. CO 8 will not work. So, if one is installing new for a system with D-STAR then CO7 it is regardless of the age. The prior ICOM release ver 2 required CO 5 !! We STILL have some of these running !!!
