Bit of a photo finish, but moved this webserver over from CentOS 7 to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS today. Here’s to another 5 years of long operational life span of this webserver!
I started my career (and before then even!) on RedHat Linux so it’s kind of sad moving away from an RH-derived distribution, but Ubuntu is kinda where it’s at for me right now in terms of predictable long term maintenance lifespan, reliable operation, and keeping access for the community.
why not rocky? 10 years of maintenance. its still rhel clone and stable as hell, rhel is also free for personal stuff. I don’t think ubuntu is good idea, i religiously hate modifications they make in web server, especially sites-available/enabled bullshit.
