Red Hat strikes a crushing blow against RHEL downstreams

CentOS toast ??

Been a multi year RHEL and CentOS user. Since 1997 I've also been a decent size contributor to Linux in general and therefore CentOS.

But what IBM is doing now makes me cringe. Could I revoke my open-source licensing from IBM?

Huh, it's as if something happened that made people not like CentOS so much

Re: Not exactly a surprise.

Interesting, you bailed out of CentOS before moving on to 8. I tried for three years (or more) 7 and decided to not go further and go back to unsupported 6.10 Final. :-(

Now I currently don't use CentOS as a server OS, but just for my desktops. After so many years (and using it) I still can't stand Gnome 3. I remember being 10 years ago at a RedHat Summit in Boston where the creator announced this refresh. Can't remember his name, but I've hated what he did (not him personally !!) ever since.

Haven't decided where to go next. Mmm, funny enough CentOS 6.5 seems to have lesser problems for me than 6.10, like a properly working YouTube with sound in FireFox, etc. <g> Doesn't work in 6.10, probably some DRM issue.
