Wrong reply address. Now to mailing list From: Vincent van Beveren 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 Aanwezig: Ma - Di - Wo - Do - Vr From: Tech-talk <tech-talk-bounces at aps.anl.gov>
On Behalf Of Ralph Lange via Tech-talk 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, |
