Pulver Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Rocky Linux Very nice indeed. I think there will be a lot of releases (or perhaps rereleases) right now with this move from Red Hat. TBH I just joined the list yesterday because I used to manage SL4 and SL5 systems a decade ago and I’m with some hope that SL8 will be eventually released. One thing to note is the point regarding duplicating efforts that I agree. Perhaps with this move from Red Hat people should join forces and not create multiple RHEL clones just like we have in the past.
