The main Centos list talks about Stream 9, but nothing about Linux 9.

What is the status of 9?  will we see something, say in the next month when I am likely to do this?

The CentOS Project (which turns out effectively to mean RedHat) announced a major change regarding CentOS Linux 8 and later versions a little over a year ago. You can get the details at:

Cheers!

Interesting and sad.  I actually ran WhiteHat back in the day and move to Centos when WhiteHat stopped getting updates.  Single person distro could be like that back then.  I did not start using Fedora until 6 before I would trust it.

Now I only have Centos on arm32.  Just turned off my ClearOS6 server for a QNAP NAS.

I am looking for what I am going to replace my Centos arm32 DNS server with.  So far, nothing commercial is priced right and does what little I need.  So Centos8 with Webmin seemed likely.  But the above article says that Centos8 is already past EoL!  Not 2029...

My mail server is actually RedSleeve6!  And I am considering a asustor NAS as only a mailserver as its replacement (unless someone can recommend another arm mailserver for multiple domains).

So at age 72, it is coming to a wrap for me.  I will continue with Fedora on my notebook, but various servers, will where possible go to supported boxes like the QNAP.
