CentOS

Linux has a bunch of different distributions.

You can have Rocky Linux, RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, like all of these other op- operating systems are like flavors of Linux, but they all come from that root Linux.

And I think even macOS and Linux come from the Nix operating system line.

So they're all kind of related, but they're all doing the same thing on the particular piece of hardware that they work for.

Drew, what you got for this? Red

Hat and CentOS.

It's the friendship where one friend killed the other twice, and then the other one respawned as twins.

Rocky and Alma, just out of spite.

And just to ground this in reality, we are looking at this through the lens of a Linux environment.

So specifically a CentOS or Red Hat enterprise deployment.

Yeah, because we really want to get under the hood here.

We're going to look at the actual mechanisms that make all this centralized trust possible.

I don't even think...

If immutable OS has become a thing, I don't think 10 years is enough for them to become dominant because, you know, looking at my CentOS installation, nothing much has changed there.

And I think, you know, especially with hardware prices, people are going to be sticking with what they know for longer.

And I think things are slowing down in that way.

But my old laptops, I used to run Ubuntu server on them.

I never even tried to run the graphics stuff or CentOS.

We ran a lot of CentOS stuff, too.

And I just never put GUIs on anything.

Now, you want end users, you better have a GUI, right? So FreeBSD doesn't even have a GUI.
