Abandoning CentOS After 17 Years
Filed under: Better late than never
oday (earlier this morning [1, 2, 3]) I spoke of “3 years since the [server] move” (to the UK) and some reader said it was more like “3 years since the servers were moved” though no server was moved, we basically abandoned the American servers (a “server can mean hardware, OS, or daemons [...] or, I guess, even services based on those,” the reader said).
I was gonna say “services” instead of server/s, “so from the outside it looked like a move,” the reader said, “but on the inside it was a complete rebuild” (including the operating system).
The move away from CentOS was long overdue. It now seems like many others abandon CentOS [1, 2, 3].
