Big thanks to the CentOS project, which probably did as much to improve the size and health of the EL ecosystem as any other single factor, and did much of that work long before any official association with Red Hat.
Much respect for the tenacity required to figure out how to bootstrap RHEL without its build system.
(Shout out to White Box Enterprise Linux as well!)
- bityard 3y agoScientific Linux was one of my favorites for a while. I stumbled onto it back when some important CentOS leader went missing and the future of the whole project looked uncertain. SL7 is still supported until June 2024. The maintainers decided not to do SL8 and are now contributing to AlmaLinux instead.
