the BEST Red Hat Linux Clones

near the end of 2020 Red Hat decided to near the end of 2020 Red Hat decided to kill Centos as we know it kinda but for kill Centos as we know it kinda but for kill Centos as we know it kinda but for now let's go ahead and take a look at now let's go ahead and take a look at now let's go ahead and take a look at Red Hat Enterprise Linux and all of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and all of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and all of the Clones and forks that we have available Clones and forks that we have available Clones and forks that we have available to us and first of course we have red to us and first of course we have red to us and first of course we have red hat Enterprise Linux or Rel for short hat Enterprise Linux or Rel for short hat Enterprise Linux or Rel for short and believe it or not this is a Linux and believe it or not this is a Linux and believe it or not this is a Linux distribution developed by Red Hat Rel is distribution developed by Red Hat Rel is distribution developed by Red Hat Rel is an RPM based distribution that uses the an RPM based distribution that uses the an RPM based distribution that uses the dnf package manager and follows more of dnf package manager and follows more of dnf package manager and follows more of an LTS release cycle with an older an LTS release cycle with an older an LTS release cycle with an older package base and rel's package base package base and rel's package base package base and rel's package base actually comes from an earlier version actually comes from an earlier version actually comes from an earlier version of Fedor meaning that Fedora is kind of of Fedor meaning that Fedora is kind of of Fedor meaning that Fedora is kind of like a testing ground for many of the like a testing ground for many of the like a testing ground for many of the changes that may come to Red Hat changes that may come to Red Hat changes that may come to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the future for Enterprise Linux in the future for Enterprise Linux in the future for example the latest version of Rel 9.0 is example the latest version of Rel 9.0 is example the latest version of Rel 9.0 is based on Fedora 34 from March 2021. do based on Fedora 34 from March 2021. do based on Fedora 34 from March 2021. do note though that while Fedor is note though that while Fedor is note though that while Fedor is sponsored by red hat and uses some of sponsored by red hat and uses some of sponsored by red hat and uses some of the red hat Enterprise Linux the red hat Enterprise Linux the red hat Enterprise Linux infrastructure Fedora is still infrastructure Fedora is still infrastructure Fedora is still completely its own project and may completely its own project and may completely its own project and may actually make decisions against red hat actually make decisions against red hat actually make decisions against red hat and another thing that makes Rel kind of and another thing that makes Rel kind of and another thing that makes Rel kind of special is that a lot of the modern special is that a lot of the modern special is that a lot of the modern technology in the Linux world is technology in the Linux world is technology in the Linux world is actually funded by red hat or ran or actually funded by red hat or ran or actually funded by red hat or ran or heavily contributed to by Red Hat heavily contributed to by Red Hat heavily contributed to by Red Hat developers and there are a bunch of developers and there are a bunch of developers and there are a bunch of examples of this including the gnome examples of this including the gnome examples of this including the gnome shell SC Linux system D package kit shell SC Linux system D package kit shell SC Linux system D package kit Weyland debus and many other projects Weyland debus and many other projects Weyland debus and many other projects however the main thing that makes red however the main thing that makes red however the main thing that makes red hat Enterprise links different than a hat Enterprise links different than a hat Enterprise links different than a lot of the others is the fact that it is lot of the others is the fact that it is lot of the others is the fact that it is a paid Linux distribution paying for it a paid Linux distribution paying for it a paid Linux distribution paying for it gives you access to documentation and gives you access to documentation and gives you access to documentation and support directly from Red Hat and this

support directly from Red Hat and this support directly from Red Hat and this is where Centos or Centos came in as is where Centos or Centos came in as is where Centos or Centos came in as many people are just fine with Community many people are just fine with Community many people are just fine with Community documentation and support So a rebuild documentation and support So a rebuild documentation and support So a rebuild of Rel was form and called Centos Centos of Rel was form and called Centos Centos of Rel was form and called Centos Centos essentially took Red Hat source code essentially took Red Hat source code essentially took Red Hat source code removed a lot of The Branding used its removed a lot of The Branding used its removed a lot of The Branding used its own repositories and then compiled it own repositories and then compiled it own repositories and then compiled it themselves so if you needed Red Hat themselves so if you needed Red Hat themselves so if you needed Red Hat Enterprise Linux but didn't care about Enterprise Linux but didn't care about Enterprise Linux but didn't care about the support you just went ahead and the support you just went ahead and the support you just went ahead and installed Centos on whatever server or installed Centos on whatever server or installed Centos on whatever server or infrastructure that you have red hat infrastructure that you have red hat infrastructure that you have red hat later bought the project out and for the later bought the project out and for the later bought the project out and for the most part things just kept running most part things just kept running most part things just kept running smoothly but about halfway through the smoothly but about halfway through the smoothly but about halfway through the release cycle of Centos a red hat release cycle of Centos a red hat release cycle of Centos a red hat decided to stop supporting the project decided to stop supporting the project decided to stop supporting the project resulting in many people considering resulting in many people considering resulting in many people considering that to be the death of Centos and this that to be the death of Centos and this that to be the death of Centos and this resulted in many of the Rel rebuilds and resulted in many of the Rel rebuilds and resulted in many of the Rel rebuilds and clones that we see today such as Alma clones that we see today such as Alma clones that we see today such as Alma Linux Rocky Linux and a couple others Linux Rocky Linux and a couple others Linux Rocky Linux and a couple others that we will be getting into a little that we will be getting into a little that we will be getting into a little bit later however the death of Centos bit later however the death of Centos bit later however the death of Centos was kind of overblown because it was was kind of overblown because it was was kind of overblown because it was actually just replaced with Centos actually just replaced with Centos actually just replaced with Centos stream and the whole release of Sentosa stream and the whole release of Sentosa stream and the whole release of Sentosa stream was severely miscommunicated with stream was severely miscommunicated with stream was severely miscommunicated with the users and Cento a stream is the users and Cento a stream is the users and Cento a stream is essentially just Rel with one huge essentially just Rel with one huge essentially just Rel with one huge difference instead of small fixes and difference instead of small fixes and difference instead of small fixes and changes needed to be put into red hat changes needed to be put into red hat changes needed to be put into red hat Enterprise Linux it was flipped as this Enterprise Linux it was flipped as this Enterprise Linux it was flipped as this would be implemented into Centos stream would be implemented into Centos stream would be implemented into Centos stream first and then Rel second this made first and then Rel second this made first and then Rel second this made contributing to both Centos and Rel much contributing to both Centos and Rel much contributing to both Centos and Rel much easier because you would have to deal easier because you would have to deal easier because you would have to deal with the bureaucracy that comes with with the bureaucracy that comes with with the bureaucracy that comes with trying to contribute to a paid trying to contribute to a paid trying to contribute to a paid distribution and the overall issue with distribution and the overall issue with distribution and the overall issue with communication is they kind of pushed communication is they kind of pushed communication is they kind of pushed stream to be a completely different stream to be a completely different stream to be a completely different thing when it really wasn't not many thing when it really wasn't not many thing when it really wasn't not many people really knew how it worked and people really knew how it worked and people really knew how it worked and just because of the naming scheme of

just because of the naming scheme of just because of the naming scheme of stream it kind of sounded like a ruling stream it kind of sounded like a ruling stream it kind of sounded like a ruling release distribution which for people release distribution which for people release distribution which for people who have red hat Enterprise Linux on who have red hat Enterprise Linux on who have red hat Enterprise Linux on their servers is not what they want and their servers is not what they want and their servers is not what they want and killing Centos halfway through the eight killing Centos halfway through the eight killing Centos halfway through the eight release cycle making people migrate to a release cycle making people migrate to a release cycle making people migrate to a whole entire new branch of Centos just whole entire new branch of Centos just whole entire new branch of Centos just really isn't a good look for something really isn't a good look for something really isn't a good look for something that was supposed to be an LTS that was supposed to be an LTS that was supposed to be an LTS distribution to me these are changes distribution to me these are changes distribution to me these are changes that could have been made in Centos 9. that could have been made in Centos 9. that could have been made in Centos 9. with this the damage of bad rebranding with this the damage of bad rebranding with this the damage of bad rebranding with Centos stream has already been done with Centos stream has already been done with Centos stream has already been done and now there are a ton of options if and now there are a ton of options if and now there are a ton of options if you want that red hat Enterprise Linux you want that red hat Enterprise Linux you want that red hat Enterprise Linux experience but before we get into those experience but before we get into those experience but before we get into those we need to thank the sponsor of today's we need to thank the sponsor of today's we need to thank the sponsor of today's video the node which actually has a lot video the node which actually has a lot video the node which actually has a lot of these as options within their of these as options within their of these as options within their distribution selector now just real distribution selector now just real distribution selector now just real quick

they have fantastic running with ease they have fantastic customer support there's a large customer support there's a large customer support there's a large community around them and if you use the

slash Tech Hut you could get a forward slash Tech Hut you could get a forward slash Tech Hut you could get a hundred dollar sixty day credit to get hundred dollar sixty day credit to get hundred dollar sixty day credit to get started today so with that we're going started today so with that we're going started today so with that we're going to talk about the distributions that are to talk about the distributions that are to talk about the distributions that are backed by Red Hat specifically we have backed by Red Hat specifically we have backed by Red Hat specifically we have two of them Rel free and of course two of them Rel free and of course two of them Rel free and of course sentos stream relfree is a free program

sentos stream relfree is a free program sentos stream relfree is a free program for individual users and with this it for individual users and with this it for individual users and with this it does have limitations for example you does have limitations for example you does have limitations for example you can only register up to 16 machines can only register up to 16 machines can only register up to 16 machines running this but it does give you access running this but it does give you access running this but it does give you access to all the red hat Enterprise Linux to all the red hat Enterprise Linux to all the red hat Enterprise Linux releases as well as their documentation releases as well as their documentation releases as well as their documentation and resources to actually learn how to and resources to actually learn how to and resources to actually learn how to use the system so as a learning tool in use the system so as a learning tool in use the system so as a learning tool in general this is a fantastic resource general this is a fantastic resource general this is a fantastic resource however if you just want to use this as however if you just want to use this as however if you just want to use this as a personal use case and you just need a personal use case and you just need a personal use case and you just need something set up quick I would recommend something set up quick I would recommend something set up quick I would recommend using some other system as Rel free is using some other system as Rel free is using some other system as Rel free is kind of a hassle to set up mainly kind of a hassle to set up mainly kind of a hassle to set up mainly because you need to make an account to because you need to make an account to because you need to make an account to download it and once you installed it download it and once you installed it download it and once you installed it you need to register it with an you need to register it with an you need to register it with an entitlement server now sent to a stream entitlement server now sent to a stream entitlement server now sent to a stream on the other hand is a great option if on the other hand is a great option if on the other hand is a great option if you need a Rel like server although this you need a Rel like server although this you need a Rel like server although this isn't an exact clone like a lot of these isn't an exact clone like a lot of these isn't an exact clone like a lot of these other distributions are going to be now other distributions are going to be now other distributions are going to be now while Cento has streamed for the most while Cento has streamed for the most while Cento has streamed for the most part will function exactly like Rel it's part will function exactly like Rel it's part will function exactly like Rel it's still kind of used as a development still kind of used as a development still kind of used as a development ground meaning it won't be 100 bug for ground meaning it won't be 100 bug for ground meaning it won't be 100 bug for bug compatible with red hat Enterprise bug compatible with red hat Enterprise bug compatible with red hat Enterprise Linux and I'll get more into what bug Linux and I'll get more into what bug Linux and I'll get more into what bug for bug means a little bit later but for bug means a little bit later but for bug means a little bit later but essentially if you don't want to use essentially if you don't want to use essentially if you don't want to use like an Ubuntu or a Debian for a web like an Ubuntu or a Debian for a web like an Ubuntu or a Debian for a web server you prefer a Rel type system server you prefer a Rel type system server you prefer a Rel type system Centos stream is a fantastic option to Centos stream is a fantastic option to Centos stream is a fantastic option to look at you get rock solid stability look at you get rock solid stability look at you get rock solid stability it's still close enough to Rel that if it's still close enough to Rel that if it's still close enough to Rel that if you're familiar with the environment you're familiar with the environment you're familiar with the environment you're not going to need to learn much you're not going to need to learn much you're not going to need to learn much at all and you'll actually get some bug at all and you'll actually get some bug at all and you'll actually get some bug fixes and updates slightly faster than fixes and updates slightly faster than fixes and updates slightly faster than Rel so next up let's go and talk about Rel so next up let's go and talk about Rel so next up let's go and talk about some of the community backed Rel some of the community backed Rel some of the community backed Rel rebuilds some of these may have a few rebuilds some of these may have a few rebuilds some of these may have a few extra small bonus features but for the extra small bonus features but for the extra small bonus features but for the most part they are just Rel with

most part they are just Rel with most part they are just Rel with different repositories a Rebrand and different repositories a Rebrand and different repositories a Rebrand and Community Support instead of the Community Support instead of the Community Support instead of the corporate support and all of these corporate support and all of these corporate support and all of these should be bug for bug compatible with should be bug for bug compatible with should be bug for bug compatible with Rel which means a vast majority of the Rel which means a vast majority of the Rel which means a vast majority of the packages should be identical to an packages should be identical to an packages should be identical to an installation of red hat and if a bug installation of red hat and if a bug installation of red hat and if a bug exists in Rel it should also exist in exists in Rel it should also exist in exists in Rel it should also exist in these rebuilds and first we're going to these rebuilds and first we're going to these rebuilds and first we're going to start with Rocky Linux now this is a start with Rocky Linux now this is a start with Rocky Linux now this is a distro that emerged after the aftermath distro that emerged after the aftermath distro that emerged after the aftermath of the death of Centos and aimed to fill of the death of Centos and aimed to fill of the death of Centos and aimed to fill the void that Centos left the company the void that Centos left the company the void that Centos left the company that runs everything is the rocky that runs everything is the rocky that runs everything is the rocky Enterprise software foundation and it is Enterprise software foundation and it is Enterprise software foundation and it is structured as a public benefit structured as a public benefit structured as a public benefit Corporation and because it's a corporate Corporation and because it's a corporate Corporation and because it's a corporate structure it does move a little slower structure it does move a little slower structure it does move a little slower than other distributions such as Alma than other distributions such as Alma than other distributions such as Alma Linux which came with its rebuild of Rel Linux which came with its rebuild of Rel Linux which came with its rebuild of Rel 9 more than a month before Rocky Linux 9 more than a month before Rocky Linux 9 more than a month before Rocky Linux speaking of Alma Linux this is another speaking of Alma Linux this is another speaking of Alma Linux this is another one that came after the death of Centos one that came after the death of Centos one that came after the death of Centos and this was started and funded by Cloud and this was started and funded by Cloud and this was started and funded by Cloud Linux but it became a community project Linux but it became a community project Linux but it became a community project that also has major funding from that also has major funding from that also has major funding from companies like AWS arm and Microsoft companies like AWS arm and Microsoft companies like AWS arm and Microsoft unlike Rocky and despite being backed by unlike Rocky and despite being backed by unlike Rocky and despite being backed by Cloud Linux all my Linux is Ran by A 501 Cloud Linux all my Linux is Ran by A 501 Cloud Linux all my Linux is Ran by A 501 non-profit and like we said it does seem non-profit and like we said it does seem non-profit and like we said it does seem to be a little quicker with the update to be a little quicker with the update to be a little quicker with the update says it only took nine days for its says it only took nine days for its says it only took nine days for its rebuild of rel9 after its release and rebuild of rel9 after its release and rebuild of rel9 after its release and because of it having more backing a because of it having more backing a because of it having more backing a faster schedule with releases and some faster schedule with releases and some faster schedule with releases and some other factors it kind of has become one other factors it kind of has become one other factors it kind of has become one of the most popular community-backed of the most popular community-backed of the most popular community-backed rail clones out there today so now we're rail clones out there today so now we're rail clones out there today so now we're going to take a look at some corporate going to take a look at some corporate going to take a look at some corporate backed rail projects these are not backed rail projects these are not backed rail projects these are not Community ran and most of these have Community ran and most of these have Community ran and most of these have actually existed for years before the

actually existed for years before the actually existed for years before the death of Centos and probably the biggest death of Centos and probably the biggest death of Centos and probably the biggest and most widely known is going to be and most widely known is going to be and most widely known is going to be Oracle Linux this is another rebuild of Oracle Linux this is another rebuild of Oracle Linux this is another rebuild of red hat with replace branding for the red hat with replace branding for the red hat with replace branding for the most part however do keep note it is not most part however do keep note it is not most part however do keep note it is not 100 binary compatible and there are 100 binary compatible and there are 100 binary compatible and there are differences in some of the packages for differences in some of the packages for differences in some of the packages for example Oracle ships is quote unquote example Oracle ships is quote unquote example Oracle ships is quote unquote unbreakable Enterprise kernel with newer unbreakable Enterprise kernel with newer unbreakable Enterprise kernel with newer kernel versions and Summit performance kernel versions and Summit performance kernel versions and Summit performance in hand announcements however a Rel in hand announcements however a Rel in hand announcements however a Rel compatible kernel is still offered and compatible kernel is still offered and compatible kernel is still offered and there are some major differences in there are some major differences in there are some major differences in other core components such as g-lib c other core components such as g-lib c other core components such as g-lib c openssl and a couple others and another openssl and a couple others and another openssl and a couple others and another corporate back distribution is Euro corporate back distribution is Euro corporate back distribution is Euro Linux which again is a Rel rebuild by a Linux which again is a Rel rebuild by a Linux which again is a Rel rebuild by a company of the same name eurolinux's company of the same name eurolinux's company of the same name eurolinux's one-to-one bug compatible with Rel and one-to-one bug compatible with Rel and one-to-one bug compatible with Rel and the Euro Linux company does provide the Euro Linux company does provide the Euro Linux company does provide support for their distribution and they support for their distribution and they support for their distribution and they also have migration scripts for Rel also have migration scripts for Rel also have migration scripts for Rel Centos Oracle Linux Rocky and Alma Linux Centos Oracle Linux Rocky and Alma Linux Centos Oracle Linux Rocky and Alma Linux they do have a free version that you can they do have a free version that you can they do have a free version that you can use as a Rel rebuild but they do have use as a Rel rebuild but they do have use as a Rel rebuild but they do have paid versions that gives you access to paid versions that gives you access to paid versions that gives you access to the Rel 6 and 7 based versions of the Rel 6 and 7 based versions of the Rel 6 and 7 based versions of eurolinux full support and access to eurolinux full support and access to eurolinux full support and access to intermediate packages and documentation intermediate packages and documentation intermediate packages and documentation and finally we have a VZ Linux which is and finally we have a VZ Linux which is and finally we have a VZ Linux which is owned by vert uozo again I'm probably owned by vert uozo again I'm probably owned by vert uozo again I'm probably saying these wrong which is made to be a saying these wrong which is made to be a saying these wrong which is made to be a base for their own operating systems base for their own operating systems base for their own operating systems such as open VZ it's one-to-one such as open VZ it's one-to-one such as open VZ it's one-to-one compatible with red hat Enterprise and compatible with red hat Enterprise and compatible with red hat Enterprise and it does have multiple flavors with a it does have multiple flavors with a it does have multiple flavors with a standard bare metal version but also has standard bare metal version but also has standard bare metal version but also has a special version for containers and a special version for containers and a special version for containers and virtual environments it also has a

virtual environments it also has a virtual environments it also has a feature called chameleon which edits the feature called chameleon which edits the feature called chameleon which edits the OS release file to look either like Rel OS release file to look either like Rel OS release file to look either like Rel or scent OS this is really good for or scent OS this is really good for or scent OS this is really good for software like cpanel that will only software like cpanel that will only software like cpanel that will only install on software or distributions install on software or distributions install on software or distributions that it actually supports however I do that it actually supports however I do that it actually supports however I do have a feeling that because the company have a feeling that because the company have a feeling that because the company backing it is actually using it backing it is actually using it backing it is actually using it themselves it's the main reason it's themselves it's the main reason it's themselves it's the main reason it's actually being maintained outside of its actually being maintained outside of its actually being maintained outside of its own product line there's very little own product line there's very little own product line there's very little amount of documentation for it updates amount of documentation for it updates amount of documentation for it updates are slow in the website for it seems to are slow in the website for it seems to are slow in the website for it seems to be more of a landing page rather than a be more of a landing page rather than a be more of a landing page rather than a website for a distribution like website for a distribution like website for a distribution like seriously I couldn't find basic seriously I couldn't find basic seriously I couldn't find basic information such as the life cycle and I information such as the life cycle and I information such as the life cycle and I could find barely any mentions of older could find barely any mentions of older could find barely any mentions of older releases of this distribution now those releases of this distribution now those releases of this distribution now those are the main distributions that can be are the main distributions that can be are the main distributions that can be used as just a drop in replacement for used as just a drop in replacement for used as just a drop in replacement for Centos or even Red Hat Linux so what I'm Centos or even Red Hat Linux so what I'm Centos or even Red Hat Linux so what I'm going to do now is talk about some other going to do now is talk about some other going to do now is talk about some other distributions that will kind of give you distributions that will kind of give you distributions that will kind of give you a similar experience but for some reason a similar experience but for some reason a similar experience but for some reason or another I I may not recommend so or another I I may not recommend so or another I I may not recommend so let's start with navy and circle Linux let's start with navy and circle Linux let's start with navy and circle Linux Navy Linux is another red hat rebuilt Navy Linux is another red hat rebuilt Navy Linux is another red hat rebuilt from a Delaware non-profit now I don't from a Delaware non-profit now I don't from a Delaware non-profit now I don't recommend this because there's an actual recommend this because there's an actual recommend this because there's an actual issue with the distribution more or less issue with the distribution more or less issue with the distribution more or less because it's just a smaller project it because it's just a smaller project it because it's just a smaller project it has very few corporate sponsors it only has very few corporate sponsors it only has very few corporate sponsors it only has five repositories on GitHub with has five repositories on GitHub with has five repositories on GitHub with only two of them being updated in the only two of them being updated in the only two of them being updated in the last 30 days at least as of writing this last 30 days at least as of writing this last 30 days at least as of writing this and of those two repos one of them is and of those two repos one of them is and of those two repos one of them is the website and the other is just a the website and the other is just a the website and the other is just a Docker image at the time of writing this Docker image at the time of writing this Docker image at the time of writing this Navy Linux does not have a rebuild of Navy Linux does not have a rebuild of Navy Linux does not have a rebuild of rail 9 yet and the website has a notable rail 9 yet and the website has a notable rail 9 yet and the website has a notable lack of information Circle Linux is a

lack of information Circle Linux is a lack of information Circle Linux is a little better it's a Chinese based little better it's a Chinese based little better it's a Chinese based Community Rand distribution but there Community Rand distribution but there Community Rand distribution but there are some prominent corporate backers are some prominent corporate backers are some prominent corporate backers that may be concerning to some people it that may be concerning to some people it that may be concerning to some people it took them quite a while to come out with took them quite a while to come out with took them quite a while to come out with their rebuild of rail9 and there's their rebuild of rail9 and there's their rebuild of rail9 and there's really not much that makes you want to really not much that makes you want to really not much that makes you want to use it over Alma or rocky Linux on top use it over Alma or rocky Linux on top use it over Alma or rocky Linux on top of that I wanted to go into their chat of that I wanted to go into their chat of that I wanted to go into their chat and ask some questions for this video and ask some questions for this video and ask some questions for this video and they supposedly have a public click and they supposedly have a public click and they supposedly have a public click slack Channel but with just how it's set slack Channel but with just how it's set slack Channel but with just how it's set up I simply could not join both of these up I simply could not join both of these up I simply could not join both of these are binary compatible with Rel but due are binary compatible with Rel but due are binary compatible with Rel but due to the fact that they're just much to the fact that they're just much to the fact that they're just much smaller projects you're not going to see smaller projects you're not going to see smaller projects you're not going to see that Community Support or documentation that Community Support or documentation that Community Support or documentation that you would get with some of the that you would get with some of the that you would get with some of the others that we mentioned earlier and others that we mentioned earlier and others that we mentioned earlier and honestly if something dramatic changes I honestly if something dramatic changes I honestly if something dramatic changes I don't see these two lasting very long don't see these two lasting very long don't see these two lasting very long very last little honorable mention I very last little honorable mention I very last little honorable mention I must give is Fedora Fedora is not really must give is Fedora Fedora is not really must give is Fedora Fedora is not really a red hat clone rebuild fork or anything a red hat clone rebuild fork or anything a red hat clone rebuild fork or anything like that but I'm going to give it a like that but I'm going to give it a like that but I'm going to give it a little mention because it's has a lot of little mention because it's has a lot of little mention because it's has a lot of good use cases and the system structure good use cases and the system structure good use cases and the system structure is very similar Fedora is the Upstream is very similar Fedora is the Upstream is very similar Fedora is the Upstream for Centos stream before Centos stream for Centos stream before Centos stream for Centos stream before Centos stream becomes Rel so brand new Fedora releases becomes Rel so brand new Fedora releases becomes Rel so brand new Fedora releases contain a lot of tech and features that contain a lot of tech and features that contain a lot of tech and features that will probably become part of Rel in the will probably become part of Rel in the will probably become part of Rel in the future but it's very important to keep future but it's very important to keep future but it's very important to keep in mind that this is not even close to in mind that this is not even close to in mind that this is not even close to being binary compatible with Rel however being binary compatible with Rel however being binary compatible with Rel however if you want to run a server with newer if you want to run a server with newer if you want to run a server with newer packages but still have the Rel Centos packages but still have the Rel Centos packages but still have the Rel Centos feel Fedora is a good option I always is feel Fedora is a good option I always is feel Fedora is a good option I always is recommend Fedora or Fedora based systems recommend Fedora or Fedora based systems recommend Fedora or Fedora based systems for your desktop and honestly especially for your desktop and honestly especially for your desktop and honestly especially for like home lab stuff Fedora as a for like home lab stuff Fedora as a for like home lab stuff Fedora as a server is magnificent it even has some

server is magnificent it even has some server is magnificent it even has some really handy tools pre-installed that I really handy tools pre-installed that I really handy tools pre-installed that I definitely appreciate now I will note definitely appreciate now I will note definitely appreciate now I will note that this video will have a companion that this video will have a companion that this video will have a companion piece over on techcut.tv where you can piece over on techcut.tv where you can piece over on techcut.tv where you can see a full chart of basically everything see a full chart of basically everything see a full chart of basically everything that I've mentioned here so you could go that I've mentioned here so you could go that I've mentioned here so you could go ahead and compare the release cycle ahead and compare the release cycle ahead and compare the release cycle compatibility who owns it and much more compatibility who owns it and much more compatibility who owns it and much more information so a link to that will be information so a link to that will be information so a link to that will be down below and generally for my picks if down below and generally for my picks if down below and generally for my picks if you're somebody who is getting into kind you're somebody who is getting into kind you're somebody who is getting into kind of these sysadmin space and you're of these sysadmin space and you're of these sysadmin space and you're trying to learn for a job real free is trying to learn for a job real free is trying to learn for a job real free is probably the perfect way to go as you'll probably the perfect way to go as you'll probably the perfect way to go as you'll have access to the documentation you'll have access to the documentation you'll have access to the documentation you'll get really familiar with the exact get really familiar with the exact get really familiar with the exact system you're going to be playing around system you're going to be playing around system you're going to be playing around in that is what you should probably use in that is what you should probably use in that is what you should probably use if you're trying to self-host some if you're trying to self-host some if you're trying to self-host some things you're trying to pick a perfect things you're trying to pick a perfect things you're trying to pick a perfect distribution for maybe your small distribution for maybe your small distribution for maybe your small business probably sent to a stream or business probably sent to a stream or business probably sent to a stream or even all the Linux are going to be even all the Linux are going to be even all the Linux are going to be perfect picks and because of Alma being perfect picks and because of Alma being perfect picks and because of Alma being a non-profit it's probably my preferred a non-profit it's probably my preferred a non-profit it's probably my preferred Rel clone that you could go with and of Rel clone that you could go with and of Rel clone that you could go with and of course if you're going to have something course if you're going to have something course if you're going to have something in your home network for a home lab my in your home network for a home lab my in your home network for a home lab my choice is obviously Fedora with that choice is obviously Fedora with that choice is obviously Fedora with that down below will be the link to the full down below will be the link to the full down below will be the link to the full companion article which you should check companion article which you should check companion article which you should check out and on the article there'll be a out and on the article there'll be a out and on the article there'll be a little subscribe button in the bottom little subscribe button in the bottom little subscribe button in the bottom right corner click that put in your right corner click that put in your right corner click that put in your email and you'll get some wonderful email and you'll get some wonderful email and you'll get some wonderful weekly or bi-weekly newsletters giving weekly or bi-weekly newsletters giving weekly or bi-weekly newsletters giving you a rundown of the latest and greatest you a rundown of the latest and greatest you a rundown of the latest and greatest in Linux open source and just general in Linux open source and just general in Linux open source and just general technology news with that big thank you technology news with that big thank you technology news with that big thank you to the sponsor today's video lenode 100 to the sponsor today's video lenode 100 to the sponsor today's video lenode 100 free credit down below and with all that free credit down below and with all that free credit down below and with all that I do hope you have an absolutely I do hope you have an absolutely I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and goodbye
