Hi, I apologize for the slip. I have been using Fedora Desktops/CentOS Servers since 2009. My boss and some staff sometimes insisted on Ubuntu. In 2019, I switched to RHEL with version 8 and then to version 9. After going to 9, I have used RHEL exclusively. I have been using the RHEL Developer login for my home office. I want to use a license sometime soon.
