Hello,

I can’t say I’m negative toward CentOS, I used it back in the late 90s (? Maybe early 00s), as an alternative to RedHat at that time.

It’s more a familiarity thing. I have used more Debian based Linux distros since the mid 1990s than anything else.

I will certainly look into CentOS as an option. Could be a shorter path to completion.

Thanks for reminding of that as an alternative.

My friend just toured Fermi Lab and brought me back a lapel pin. I was thankful but very envious of her visit there.

It’s certainly on my list.

I could probably just retire and, quite happily, tour all the worlds particle accelerator facilities.

Make a nice scrapbook of blueprints.

Peter

Moving from SL to CentOS is straightforward, I don't think you can speak about it as a migration as it is exactly the same >product.
