    Moving from CentOS to Alma was pretty painless.

    and all of my Linux systems are now running Alma 9.1. I'll do the 9.2 upgrade in the next week or so. I'm not in any rush at the moment.

    I might just pull the plug and wipe the system clean, install 9.2 and PHP 8.2 and be done with it.

    I have scripts that do all the work in setting up a WordPress server.
