    Ryan_Van_Mass reacted to Conan Kudo in CentOS Linux abandoned, welcome CentOS Stream. Where to go now?   
    It was extremely unfortunate that the original announcement included the term "rolling release". That's not how CentOS Stream works. The core of it is CentOS Stream is Red Hat Enterprise Linux updates being released as they're made and validated with their QA processes. Historically speaking, updates (including security fixes and other bug fixes) would be held back until the next point release unless it was very urgent. However, what determines urgency is difficult to determine. More often than not, Red Hat partners and customers ask for Red Hat to release things faster, and CentOS Stream is an opportunity to provide that.
     
    CentOS Stream is Red Hat Enterprise Linux being continuously delivered. This was explained in a followup blog post, but it's a shame it wasn't part of the original announcement. There is a major advantage here: if something does go wrong with an update, you can get RHEL developers to respond to it, fix the bug, and have that fix released within days of it being validated for correctness and release.
     
    For me personally, I had already been moving my CentOS 8 boxes to CentOS Stream 8 shortly after CentOS Stream went live last year. Not just because I want security and bug fixes faster, but also because CentOS Stream also lets folks who have the inclination to contribute bug fixes and enhancements (that don't violate the principles of Red Hat Enterprise Linux) to help the broader community. This makes CentOS a much more participatory project.
     
    Finally, Red Hat is working on making actual Red Hat Enterprise Linux available for production use for much lower cost (and even in many cases, for no cost at all!).
     
    The Destination Linux podcast had a great interview with Mike McGrath, the VP of RHEL Engineering at Red Hat, to explain this better to everyone, and I encourage you all to take a listen.

    Sorry to hear about these import fees after the fact, guys

    Really wish we could have provided an option in the UK, but OCUK really put us in a bad spot when they backed out less than a week before our printer was set to ship the orders...

    Hopefully we'll have a better solution for those of you in the UK for whatever we decide to do next

    They used to be on District Lines, but that shop closed down and now you can't get that lanyard anymore. I was lucky enough to have one just before their shop closed.
