Says who?I may only be guessing, but maybe he was referring to the age of C7. There is no doubt that C7 is now VERY old software wise. I've just gone through building a new web server, and have had to use a lot of external repositories in order to pull in even reasonably new Postgresql / Apache / PHP etc.

I know this much, Scientific Linux shutting down?....is a definite sign! (And I've loved SL from my first foray into Linix....in 2002!) sad to see my "personal favorite" as a server OS going away ?. I mean ...I guess I should be happy that CEntOS is still here...(for now?) but what if "Big Blue" decides to swallow up "Code Red"?...wonder where that would leave me in my search for a server OS replacement? ( Hmm....Debian Stable is starting to look a bit more inviting now!....LoL!) EGO II On Wed, Apr 24, 2019, 12:22 PM John R.

technicaly SL is shutting down but in reality they are just merging with centos effort wise. this is not a bad thing as there was duplication of effort being that the outcome was so similar. so in effect the rhel based platform just got more focused. regards peter On 28 April 2019 16:07:18 "Eddie O'Connor" <eoconnor25 at gmail.com> wrote:> I know this much, Scientific Linux shutting down?....is a definite sign! > (And I've loved SL from my first foray into Linix....in 2002!) sad to see > my "personal favorite" as a server OS going away ?.
