can Homebrew be used on a Centos computer

Question

I just installed Centos 6.4 minimal on an old computer with an internet connection threw my iMac. Set it up as a development server. Installments required: Nginx, Apache, PHP-5, Mysql, Redis, Mongodb etc.

Is yum just as good as Homebrew on my iMac or can I install Homebrew on the Centos computer?

What is the best way to go about it. Or how are you doing it?

thanks

There are forks of Homebrew targeted for linux, such as Linuxbrew. However, Homebrew is trying to emulate something like yum or other package managers (aptitude, pacman, etc.) - so as far as "is it just as good", not in my experience as the "recipes" are fairly limited - but it does provide some nice functionality on Mac (since there is no CLI package manager).

All that said - I wouldn't opt for it over a built in/default package manager for Linux.
