Back in December when Red Hat announced that CentOS was going to be moving to a rolling release, CloudLinux stepped up. They said that they were going to be providing the community a Red Hat clone known as Project Lenix. As of today, it is officially called AlmaLinux.
Why “Alma”?
Alma means soul in Spanish and other Latin languages.
We’re looking forward to seeing how Alma compares to Rocky!
I am a Cloud Engineer currently working in the financial and web hosting industry. My passion has been Linux since I first discovered it in 2005. Throughout my career, I have always implemented Linux wherever possible and am an advocate of using open source software over proprietary whenever possible. I strongly believe in the UNIX philosophy of "Do One Thing and Do It Well". I started The Linux Lab as a way for people to discover Linux (and UNIX in general, even macOS users) and to find solutions to problems and learn about Linux.
