I installed CentOS 9 Stream yesterday as a VM. (VMware note: to
install from the DVD ISO, you must use UEFI boot and the "Secure"
option must be deselected.)
I really don't care if you (a) have moved on from CentOS, (b) carry a
grudge against Red Hat, or (c) think $OtherDistro is superior. This
information is provided just as a matter of interest.
I did a quick summary of some of the packages that are important to us
at work; obviously, our work priorities may not align with your needs,
but you might find the list useful in case you're interested in CentOS
itself or in what RHEL 9 or its clones (Oracle, Rocky, etc) is likely
to resemble:
Base OS:
* glibc 2.34
* kernel 5.14.0
* openssh 8.7p1
* openssl 3.0.3
* python3 3.9.8
* samba 4.14.5
AppStream:
* Bacula 11.0.1
* gcc 11.2.1
* httpd 2.4.48
* java 8, java 11, java 17
* mariadb 10.5.12
* mysql 8.0.22
* nginx 1.20.1
* openmpi 4.1.1
* perl 5.32.1 + all modules
* php 8.0.6
* postgresql 13.3
* python3 modules
Of note: java, perl and ruby are entirely streams now, while python
remains tied to the base OS. All RDBMS releases are streams. There is
no Tomcat! libgcc is part of the base OS but is also a stream. I'm not
sure how that will work.
