Hi all,
I just came across the (already quite old) news that Red-Hat switches their support-policy for CentOS to a rolling preview model (replacing CentOS Linux by CentOS Stream): https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-red-hat-dumped-centos-for-centos-stream/ https://www.enterpriseai.news/2021/01/22/red-hats-disruption-of-centos-unlea shes-storm-of-dissent/ I wondered if that has any implications for the community, as scientific programs - maybe except the big ones like coot, Phenix, and ccp4 - are often not *that* well maintained for an extended period. I had the impression CentOS was liked especially for its "unbreakability," and it seems to be the main developing platform for some widely used smaller programs (e.g., adxv). Do you think it would be advisable to switch to a Ubuntu-distro when setting up new workstations in the future, or is it safe to stick to CentOS? Please let me know what you think :-) Best, Matthias Matthias Zeug Buchmann Institute of Molecular Life Sciences Goethe University Frankfurt ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
