Show Notes

In this episode, Martin and Chris lament the demise of CentOS, the community enterprise operating system, the free (as in: beer) alternative of Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). But in the true spirit of FLOSS, two successors already are filling in this void: Rocky Linux and Alma Linux. The two initiators / main maintainers are part of this podcast: Gregory Kurtzer explains the ins and outs of Rocky Linux and Igor Seletskiy talks about Alma Linux. Also a bonus for our train, um, weather-spotting friends: Chris explains why Germany can be hotter than Nevada in the summer time. :-) And of course our first competition: please send in your bid (see details at the end of the show) by the end of 2022 to enter the draw in 2032 for some awesome Linux Inlaws swag!
