Dr. Thomas di Giacomo from SUSE: “We should compete on reliability, security, support, certification or cost-efficiency—not on openness.” Check out Ernie Smith's article about the way forward after Red Hat's license changes.

Looking for distro advice. We've got several hundred systems running a diverse array of RHEL clones (we just sent our last Valhalla box to, um, Valhalla) on both VMs and physical hardware, and the shenanigans being pulled by IBMHat combined with the workarounds being needed by the team are starting to feel like a risk to business.

On the one hand, Ubuntu LTS would be a good fit for a server forklift. On the other, we've got a ton of work built into our internal RPM infrastructure and some of my colleagues have literally never used anything other than an RHEL clone. We're heavily using now so a good argument could be made that distro no longer matters.

My thoughts are, so far at least:
1. Switch to LEAP - anyone know how well-supported this is by hardware vendors? It would at least have the comfort of a familiar package manager (plus I've been using it since like 2002).
2. Buy SLES. Same issues as above but a lot of money for us.
3. Bite the bullet and migrate to LTS, leaning hard on Ansible to ensure things go as smoothly as possible.
4. Say "fuck it" and move to since if nothing else they won't fuck us over.
5. Hope for the best with the Rocky situation.

Any well-thought advice welcome.

So gurus, currently I have a master server, with 2 slaves. All edits (obviously) are made on the master and then get collected by the slaves, pretty basic system. All 3 are running current version of bind on servers.

I like the idea of switching to so that I can use powerAdmin to manage my zones. I like the idea of an sql backend instead of .db files.

Is this a good idea, or a waste of time to switch up the master to powerdns? The slaves should stay bind. Ideas?

@victorhck Lo natural sería migrar a rockylinux.org/ que es del creador (uno de los) de CentOS, es idéntico, de hecho ya he migrado varias máquinas sin virtualmente ningún cambio...y ojo no digo que Rocky sea mejor que Suse, sino que Rocky es básicamente CentOS con soporte de por vida...siempre y cuando RedHat no lo reviente...

Welp... definitely time to add a filter on . If been a week or so after the change announcement and people are *still* bitchin' about it.

I'm not sure if there is an idiom that comes after 'Flogging a dead horse', but I feel there might be need for one given people's reluctance to stop talking about it.

Red Hat has decided to put its RHEL packages behind a paywall. This is the Rocky Linux response for continuing to develop and support an RHEL-compatible distribution.

So, $DAYJOB moved from to as a build platform when killed . Now is killing itself, time to move to something proven, like perhaps?

Quoting Alan Cox [@etchedpixels] at Twitter:

>> Mike McGrath for Red Hat: “We will always send our code upstream and abide by the open source licenses our products use, which includes the GPL.”
> redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-co

Meanwhile:

>> Magnus Glantz of Red Hat: “I guess some people just still have not understood that free software (which open source originally was called), refers to free as in freedom, not free as in free beer, free labor or free money.”
> linkedin.com/pulse/problem-roc

It's all puff pieces about fear and freeloading that are old Microsoft grade.

And it speaks to the point. IBMHat thinks it “sells Red Hat Linux”, no it sells support and services. The code isn't really theirs to sell.

(Not when it's “100% Open Source”. ~ed.)

Is 's move to putting the source code behind a paywall an attempt to kill competitors like and ?

@geerlingguy has a video up about this.
