I chose Centos Stream 8 over Centos 8 because I figured that the stream version's rolling updates would result in a later EOL. When Red Hat announced the unexpectedly short EOL for 8 I was glad for my choice. That said, what has Red Hat said about an EOL for Stream, if any?

- justinclift 2y agoHeh Heh Heh "LEAPP" is an interesting name choice, in that one of SUSE's distro's is called "Leap". Wonder if there are trademark issues around that? LEAPP seems like it's been around for a few years now, so probably nothing serious.
