If CentOS Stream eliminates the need for those extra (and often sketchy 3rd party) repos, then it is good. Likewise, if #Alma and #Rocky send patches upstream that help improve RHEL, then that is also good. -

I'm sorry, leaving any other vendor to switch to Oracle does not compute. Error! Error! -

Reading the blog post, it sounds like #CentOS Stream isn't a buggy beta distro after all, but instead, it moves CentOS to be slightly ahead of #RHEL (because of the continuous delivery part).
I don't imagine that CStream is going to have modern versions of included software very much ahead of RHEL's major version bumps. (I go back to that often, because I've always need a 3rd party software repo, due to the advanced age of the versions included in RHEL & CentOS repos. The software is often so old that the upstream project no longer supports it.) -

Someone is trying to petition #IBM / #Red_Hat to give #CentOS back to community control instead of making it the upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ( #RHEL ).
I think they're wasting their time. -
LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} (lnxw48a1)'s status on Tuesday, 08-Dec-2020 20:46:42 UTC LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} That will affect some organizations that are using #CentOS as "no-fee #Red_Hat", but the truth is, many orgs have to seek out 3rd party repos because the software included in RH and CentOS is so old. If CentOS Stream is still stable, it might lead to an increase in users.
I'll see about installing it on one of my servers at home soon. -

When fresh.federati.net was around, I had to do that to get a #PHP version new enough to run GS.
So if CentOS stream is newer, but not bleeding edge, and if it gave some warning of upcoming major changes, it might indeed be a better choice. Not for corporate apps,of course, but for hosting externally-developed projects, yes. -

I should probably also send #Debian or #Devuan or #Ubuntu, but if he gets the first server running, that's fine for now. -

Douglas A. Whitfield (musicman)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Feb-2020 01:27:01 UTC Douglas A. Whitfield It's pretty demoralizing to never get any responses from anyone but @lnxw48a1, but I am nothing if not persistent.
I realize I could interact more and gain more followers and I could post more. Maybe I'll give Mastodon a shot a see if I get more interaction there. I don't think I've joined an instance but maybe I have.
Anyway...

Database administration; #postgresql/ #mysql/ #mariadb experience very desirable
Expertise in #Cassandra, #Kafka, and/or #cloudnative applications is a plus.
Minimum of five years of software development and design or systems administration or level 3-4 technical support experience.
Technical knowledge, skills and expertise in complex infrastructure, web-based software and enterprise software

On #Debian 10 (I think it is “Buster”, but I’m not sure about the codenames), #PHP is at version 7.3. I think Debian 9 may still have php7.2. -
