I'm sorry for the frequent posts. > Did you try the latest BlueOnyx-5210R-CentOS-8.1.1911-20200516.iso yet?
I tried the 5210R over half a year ago. The installation was fine, but I encountered a few issues and decided to adopt the 5209R. I remember that one of them was that I couldn't login with ssh. I think it's resolved now. Also, if I notice a problem, I will report it.
