Linux... linux is free... right? From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2020 8:39 AM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Centos is dead?
I guess it would have been naïve of us all to expect no change when IBM acquired RedHat.

Holy shit, I just took a cursory look at redhat pricing. Starts at 350 a year per server, physical server only, and not intended for production use. 2500 a year for the data center if I read it right I run webmin to manage package updates and BIND. If I'm reading correctly ubuntu isnt terrible, just less security patched since it's all opensource and not subsidized by a big dog like red hat. Probably doable, but no yum. Has something like this happenned with centos historically? I assume the linux community will bring about a comparable solution or resolution. This just stinks, I had my centos process down. Is this end of life like a microst end of life where they just keep patching and saying they mean it this time for years?

I guess their answer would be if you are using it in a production environment you could always pay for RHEL. Or there’s Fedora. I believe Preseem runs on Fedora.

I've been a peasant my whole life, is there any other way? I think powercode is ubuntu now, so I'll probably go that route, are there major differences to it?

It happens. Someone will probably fork it and make up a new distro if that hasn't happened already. IMO the main reason to use CentOS was because it was rebuilt RHEL. I gave up on Red Hat about two releases into Fedora Core when it became obvious it was just rapidly changing garbage for testing on the peasants before bringing fixes into their commercial version. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
