p.s. can someone tell in as short as possible what this CentOS Stream is
in comparison to CentOS 8?
CentOS Stream is built from the currently released RHEL Source Code + 0.1
So if RHEL 8.3 is released .. Stream is the Source Code (built) that
will become 8.4 in a few months.
what does this mean in comparison to CentOS 8, which sources are used
for this?
to be concrete:
I can download this ISO of CentOS 8
(1) CentOS-8.3.2011-x86_64-dvd1.iso
and this ISO fo CentOS Stream
(2) CentOS-Stream-8-x86_64-20201203-dvd1.iso
which sources are used for (1) and which for (2)?
and what does it mean of the update process be 'yum update'
e.g. if one would do this with CentOS 6, there is no way; the support
ended;
with CentOS 8 this will haben one day (somewhat in 2029), and what is
said about this of CentOS Stream?
CentOS Linux 8 is the source code from released current RHEL 8 .. for
now 8.3. The EOL of CentOS Linux 8 is 31 DEC 2021
when doing 'yum update' regularly this would also be EOL the end of the
following year?
CentOS Stream 8 is the source cdoe from what be RHEL + 0.1 .. so
currently 8.3 + 0.1 = 8.4. It will EOL in 31 MAY 2024
this is much longer here, can I update this 'forever' just doing 'yum
update' regularly?
why I am asking this, I need to choose one option, because my CentOS 6
VMs are EOL;
and I would practice this the same way I did, when my CentOS 4 became
EOL, I installed CentOS 6
VM by VM - never used CentOS 5;
e.g. the first one was the DNS-VM, which I used CentOS 6.2,
then the outgoing Mail-server-VM, I used CentOS 6.3
and by doing 'yum update' regularly they all became finally 6.10;
so which should I choose
- CentOS 7: EOL in 2024
- CentOS Stream: EOL also in 2024
(CentOS 8 is no option I guess)
comparing to Windows,
when using Win10, there is no install needed any more, every half year
function update,
and the other time security/bug fix update;
is doing CentOS Stream the same way?
Thanks,
Walter
