I've been using CentOS for a long time and love it! Thanks for all of the hard work, long hours, and lack of sleep. Also thanks to the mailing list - lots of great questions and answers. This is a great place to even get general Linux questions answered. There are precious few places where this is possible. However, I have to admit that 4 months for CentOS is a bit longer than usual. I know that once it is out, everything will be fine. To be honest, 4 months is too long for my needs. I went ahead and bought RHEL 8.0. I hated spending money on it since it felt like I was betraying CentOS but I just couldn't wait any longer. Sorry CentOS. But one person pointed out to me that perhaps Red Hat, since it "owns" CentOS, may actually want to delay it to get people, like me, to buy RHEL. I think this is a little too conspiracy for me, but you have to admit that the longer it is held up, the greater the possibility people will buy RHEL. I'm in the HPC world so spending a bunch of money for RHEL for every node in the cluster is not likely to happen so CentOS has an advantage there. The HPC world will wait for CentOS. Thank you CentOS team and thanks for all of the hard work. Jeff On Tue, Sep 10, 2019 at 11:11 AM victor mason <vm2196 at gmail.com> wrote: > What's the hold up on both of these?
