Randy Calvert Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I honestly had never heard of Almalinux before. At the end of the day, use what is supported by the host. As long as you meet the IPB software requirements, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentOS 6 hasn't been supported for a long time now. So yes you need to upgrade - And yes AlmaLinux is a perfect choice - Its my choice for the next CentOS replacement, the other one I like is Rocky Linux. https://blog.cloudlinux.com/almalinux-is-born https://rockylinux.org/about/ I have used Cloud Linux for many years (ok paid for, but not expensive) so my own personal recommendation for AlmaLinux is biased, have a google as there are more than these two, however these would be my go to choice. I would also recommend a new fresh install and not an upgrade (not even sure AlmaLinux supports going from centos6) 6 hours ago, Randy Calvert said: I honestly had never heard of Almalinux before.

Giray Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Old thread but adding that we are probably migrating from CentOS 7 to Almalinux. SJ77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
