CentOS 8.5.2111 released
CentOS 8 is officially released!! CentOS is fully compliant with Red Hat’s redistribution policy and is fully functionally compatible with upstream products. CentOS’s modification of the component is mainly to remove Red Hat’s trademark and artwork. This release also includes the new CentOS Streams, a rolling Linux distribution that exists between the upstream development of Fedora Linux and the downstream development of RHEL. You can think of CentOS Streams as a version of the latest Red Hat Linux features without having to wait too long.
