What NBU 7.6 client is compatible with CentOS 5.8 and 6.x?

I am implementing NBU 7.6 but I don't see a backup agent specific to CentOS.   Should I be using the RedHat agent that's specific to my CentOS build (given that they are binary duplicates of each other, outside of the RedHat kernel branding), or is there a different agent that I should be installing on my CentOS clients for backups?

Backup and Recovery
Linux
NetBackup

    Page 54 says the client selection for both CentOS 5 and 6 with NetBackup 7.6 is "Linux/RedHat2.6.18" so install that one.

    Hello,

    According to the OS compatibility list (TECH76648), Page 11, CentOS 5.2 (X64) and forward is supported with NetBackup 7.0. You will want to use the RH client.
