Even the brazen professionals and the hardcore guru admins who have seen it all add a little "RIP CentOS" to their tweets, blog articles and other publications. Only last month I held my yearly 101 class about Linux and Open Source at our local university here in South France. We were talking about enterprise class Linux - which isn't necessarily commercial Linux - and I remember explaining to my students the choice of CentOS and the benefits of low-risk updates over an extended period of ten years. A colleague of mine - the most proficient admin I personally know - already decided to move to Oracle Linux. And I'm currently considering it as an option.

Prior to this point it's been a difference without any difference, but I wonder if Oracle actually re-creates RHEL or if they re-create Centos. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

The possibility of centos drop was enabled since IBM acquired RH. Johnny says that this is not an IBM decision, that a RH decision? Then it's worst. My new ship (that was my old ship) will be debian and Ubuntu. Thank you Johnny for the hard work.
