Not too long ago my main Linux development machine, a tiny NUC-style box, stopped booting. With recent events in CentOS-land this has become even more relevant - read on to see how you can easily move back and forth between CentOS and Ubuntu. I shaved a few yaks along the way, and made lots of notes – hopefully they’ll help if you’re thinking about making a similar transition. Having used RH/CentOS pretty much exclusively since moving from Unix (Solaris) to Linux many years back, I learned that even though CentOS and Ubuntu are both Linux, they are very different in ways both large and small. There will, however, be no more updates to the CentOS Linux 8 content after that time.Īdditionally, with this deadline falling during a time when many of our team, as well as many of our users, will be out of the office, we intend to bend the usual EOL process by keeping this content available until January 31st.Īt that time, or in the event of a serious security bug in this time window (Defined as anything with a VCSS v3 score of 9 or greater), this content will be removed from our mirrors, and moved to where it will be archived permanently, since we will not be able to provide updates to the content after the EOL date.I recently needed to build a Linux development system from scratch, and while I was at it I decided to provide dual-boot capability between CentOS and Ubuntu. We will be providing this content as part of the final CentOS Linux 8 release. The release of a RHEL point release is often accompanied, immediately afterwards, by a set of zero-day updates. We will be shipping a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.5 once it is released, even if that means that this is released slightly after the EOL date. In line with the EOL of previous releases, we will NOT be automatically migrating anyone to the next version (which is CentOS Stream 8 in this case).
CentOS Linux 8 will reach End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021.
