That may depend on your reasons for using CentOS. You (in a later message) mentioned one reason being because you also used a CentOS machine elsewhere. But was that only only/main reason? For some people (including me), we used it because it had a longer lifespan than Fedora. For me, it was a local web server, mail server, file server, dhcp server, etc. It didn't have to do much else, so having the latest and greatest wasn't *as* important as not having to deal with an all-too- regular upheaval of updating the entire OS on a system that I relied on to just grind away at doing its job. Before finding CentOS, I did use Fedora as my server, and having to deal with that upheaval *was* a major pain, not just a potential concern. So, often, the server was left to run a very out of date installation for a long time (which is still a possibility if you don't feel the system is vulnerable to attack *). And now, like you, I find myself in that same position again. * I have an ancient Mac from 2009 next to me that cannot be updated. All it has to do is video editing. It can carry on doing that until the hardware actually dies. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
