Hi Ralph,

 

I would prefer stability over features. Also my preference would be RHEL based, though I would think that is a bit under discussion at the moment given RHEL downstream policy. I don’t know how that would affect long term viability of Alma and Rocky Linux. It needs to be a stable platform for the coming years. Thanks for your reply!

 

Regards,

Vincent

Hi Vincent,

 

Take your expected lifecycle times into consideration. What will be more important: newest tools and compiler versions or stability/robustness? For controls, people often prefer the "slower" series (Debian/Ubuntu-LTS, RHEL/Alma) over the "faster" ones (Ubuntu, Fedora).

Drama aside: in terms of EPICS support, there's not much difference between the RedHat and Debian families of distros.

 

Cheers,
~Ralph
