Thank you for your response Rich. I have heard that Stream is beta
releases of RH -- rather distressing. Is this a proper characterization?
You heard wrong.
Stream is effectively a rolling early release of the next point release
of RHEL. The packages in stream are fully tested and have gone through
QA. They are not beta releases.
With all due respect, - and avoiding the names to not scratch against
"release,..." definitions, he is more correct in his feelings (that what
you say) which I would formulate as "stream users are sort of Guinea
pigs for RedHat releases".
And mind that I have no emotions about it as my servers are FreeBSD for
over a decade. And new number crunchers and workstations going Debian
since CentOS ceased to be RedHat Enterprise binary replica was such a
minor change...
Just my $0.02.

The disadvantage of Stream is that it doesn't have the full 10 year
support of RHEL and doesn't have the full binary compatibility to RHEL.
