		cozzyd on Dec 8, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: CentOS Project shifts focus to CentOS Stream There is a long legacy of EL integration and know-how in various particle physics experiments (and research computing clusters, for that matter...). If RH doesn't release some "Academic Version" (but who would even trust that at this point?), then I suspect revival of Scientific Linux or adoption of shudders Oracle Linux is more likely than a switch to Debian. FreeBSD is probably a non-starter.

That has nothing todo with a Distribution, maybe with linux but Redhat...pff....Looong-LTS that was the plus.

Oracle Linux...no one and especially cern would ever risk that.
