[BlueOnyx:24602] Re: End of life of Centos 8?

[Fungal Style]

FWIW, I suspect there will be a lot of movement over the coming months with relation to this, as an example ROCKY LINUX which someone you may have heard of... Gregory Kurtzer has announced he would create (he was one of the co-founders of CentOS).

So I would not get too bogged down on this topic for now, let the dust settle and we will probably see a better picture.

    Michael, what do you know about Oracle Linux?  I had never heard of it, but
    this blog post sounds very convincing:

    to-centos-three-reasons-to-consider-oracle-linux

    I assume this is in no way an outgrowth of Solaris.  I'll admit I have a
    possibly prejudiced negative opinion of Larry Ellison and thought of Oracle
    as buying companies to kill them.  Those opinions may be totally uninformed.
    But it seems strange that Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora come to mind but I've
    never even heard of Oracle Linux before.

    It also seems like IBM buying RedHat is reminiscent of what happened when
    Oracle bought Sun.  Again, maybe an uninformed opinion.

    Hi Ernie,

    > I wonder how Michael went with that experimental Debian port :)

    It's still just that: A little side-show experiment.

    Porting the build-environment from spitting out RPMs to building DEBs is a
    colossal undertaking and I didn't get very far with it yet. :-/
