This site currently runs on CentOS 7, and I plan to upgrade it to CentOS 8 later in the week. This may result in some downtime. CentOS has been a free OS based closely on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. But CentOS is now owned by Red Hat, and they are planning on changing CentOS from an enterprise OS to more of a testing ground for new features, which would make it less stable. I plan to eventually switch to Rocky Linux, a new project from the founder of CentOS that will be more like CentOS has been. Switching to CentOS 8 is a transitional move that will make this server ready for switching to Rocky Linux when it is available.
