How do you keep Red Hat 8 up-to-date? Red Hat 8 is no longer supported by
Red Hat.
www.fedoralegacy.org suspended it's Red Hat 8 support earlier than it had
originally claimed
it would.
Older versions of Red Hat had reasonable lifetimes, but the rate at which
Fedora Core is
released (2-3 times per year) makes the Red Hat/Fedora Core line much less
appealing.

In our case it is 3rd party support that made us go with Red Hat 8.
If you have devices that will be running on the host, then you want to
make sure that you have the kernel module that go with them.
If for example you have frame grabbers, then you want corresponding vendor
to have QAed the hardware on this linux platform. Ultimately you want them
to support it as well.
Red Hat is a sure bet.
I suspect that any of the major distributions can do the job. It would
seem to make the most sense for us to go with the flavor of Linux with
the largest user base in the EPICS community.
