Get Ready to Upgrade to RedHat Enterprise Linux 9

May 14, 2022 @ 12:31 am

RedHat Logo RedHat Linux 9 will soon be here. It was announced this week at Red Hat Summit and will be the first major release post-IBM acquisition.

Presumably Alma and Rocky releases will soon follow. As a reminder, you can run RHEL on 16 development servers for free.

RHEL 9 will be based on Fedora 34, so BTRFS as the default perhaps…?

There will be some forgettable release name assigned to this release. Version names are a core technology area where RHEL lags behind industry leaders such as Ubuntu’s whimsical animals and Debian’s structured exploration of the Toy Story universe.

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
