Interesting that they are using Redhat 7.6 with a 3.3 kernel. I'm guessing RedHat must backport a bunch of stuff in order to make an older Linux release work well on such newer hardware.
- raverbashing 7y ago> RedHat must backport a bunch of stuff Yes. Though you have also the option of running a newer kernel (through EPEL but maybe not necessarily)
- aorth 7y agoIt's actually ELRepo, which is community run, not EPEL, which is semi officially run by Red Hat. But yes, very impressive you can get latest stable and long term kernels on CentOS!
- moonbug 7y agono guessing required. That's exactly RH's approach.
- technofiend 7y agoRedhat only added Linux 4 kernel in RHEL 8. As you stated they backport a ton of stuff for customers.
