AlmaLinux Beta released, the CentOS replacement is ready for testing
2021-02-02 07:42

AlmaLinux, the open source enterprise-level Linux distribution created as an alternative to CentOS, is released in beta with most RHEL packages and is ready for community testing.

AlmaLinux is a 1:1 binary fork of RedHat Linux Enterprise Linux, backed with a $1 million annual sponsorship by CloudLinux, with support provided until at least 2029.

Named after the Latin word for "Soul," AlmaLinux is being developed with collaboration from the Linux community via public repositories and packages.

The CloudLinux engineering team gathered the community's frequently asked questions and published technical details on the AlmaLinux Wiki as resources for additional information.

An important tool released with the AlmaLinux beta is the bug tracker.

CloudLinux will work closely with bug tickets to further develop AlmaLinux and deliver the stable release.
