Hello, not a Centos topic perse, but since many had concerns about? 'regular' Centos going away, and? "Centos Stream" replacing it. This is what I read today, might have been around longer though, don't know.

In short: 1. Register at https://developers.redhat.com/register 2. You'll now see a developer subscription allowing up to 16 systems listed at https://access.redhat.com/management/subscriptions 3. Download and install from https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download 4. sudo subscription-manager register --username $USERNAME (where $USERNAME is the email address you registered with) and there you go. It says "Developer Subscription" but the new terms allow each individual to have up to 16 systems for production use. See the (single page) terms here: https://www.redhat.com/wapps/tnc/viewterms/72ce03fd-1564-41f3-9707-a09747625585?extIdCarryOver=true&sc_cid=701f2000001Css0AAC It may also be of interest to note something which I hadn't realized before: this subscription includes the "EUS" offering which provides security updates to select minor releases (so you can "pin" to that minor release), which is something CentOS never did. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm at fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
