[CentOS] dnf script to cherry pick updates and maintain RHEL compatibility

2020-12-09 Thread Frank Cox

[CentOS] Is Oracle a real alternative to Centos?

2020-12-08 Thread Frank Cox
Is Oracle a real alternative to Centos? I'm asking because genuinely don't know; I've never paid any attention to Oracle's Linux offering before now. But today I've seen a couple of the folks here mention Oracle Linux and I see that Oracle even offers a script to convert Centos 7 to Oracle.
