Today is the day! The team over at CloudLinux has provided the first beta of AlmaLinux 8.3 and the first fork of RHEL 8. If you don’t recall, back in December Red Hat announced CentOS 8 was shifting direction. Red Hat told us the new EOL for CentOS 8 was December 31, 2021 instead of 2029. CloudLinux shortly announced Project Lenix, which transformed into AlmaLinux.
We’ve currently installed the beta and are testing it out!
I am a Cloud Engineer currently working in the financial and web hosting industry. My passion has been Linux since I first discovered it in 2005. Throughout my career, I have always implemented Linux wherever possible and am an advocate of using open source software over proprietary whenever possible. I strongly believe in the UNIX philosophy of "Do One Thing and Do It Well". I started The Linux Lab as a way for people to discover Linux (and UNIX in general, even macOS users) and to find solutions to problems and learn about Linux.
