So like everyone else in the world, at work we bought into the
"Enterprise Linux" hype and started using CentOS for everything.
Bug trackers, KVM hosts, Nessus scanners, oVirt clusters
etc etc.
We set up servers for all manners of things for cheap running good
old trusty CentOS. We figured, hey, it's the same thing as RHEL
and that must be good right?
Well now all those old CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 machines are EOL and
now we are up the poop creek aren't we.
What's that canfood-from-5-years-ago? You didn't know that Redhat
would buy CentOS and make it the staging for RHEL instead of actual
RHEL?
What's that canfood-from-5-years-ago? You didn't know that IBM
would buy Redhat and start shitting on everything?
Haha you big dummy. You lose...oh yeah and good luck actually
upgrading CentOS in-place you big dummy.
So yeah, we aren't going to CentOS Stream or any other "Enterprise
Linux." We are going to Debian because although Debian isn't perfect,
you actually do stand a chance of upgrading servers in-place and
Debian doesn't get bought out or have a business model change.
As the Mandalorian would say about Debian...This is the way.
