Did you know? With the #RedHat Developer Subscription you can run Red Hat Enterprise Linux and much more in production *for free* on up to 16 physical or virtual machines, including cloud instances on AWS, Azure, Google. I have just set up a VPS with RHEL 9.1 to run containers with Mastodon :) https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/new-year-new-red-hat-enterprise-linux-programs-easier-ways-access-rhel

@jwildeboer good to know but as a "DAU" I stick to Fedora. 😉

@jwildeboer the "on up to 16 (virtual) machines" in you post at least to me sounds like you can only use the developer subscription only in VMs and not on base metal. Might be worth a edit.

@jwildeboer Thanks for sharing that info. From my perspective as home user RHEL is rock solid from a technical point of view and "just works". So I might consider this when setting up a machine in future. Meanwhile let's see how long this offer is compatible with corporate policies at the vendor's group while economic environment continues to advance. I hope for the best for all of us.

@jwildeboer yes. If I'm not mistaken this came after the backlash about discontinuing CentOS in favour of CentOS Stream. Then, I posted to community this change should've been announced as part of CentOS Stream announcement, and not later. Regardless, I'm glad this happened to be, as 16 EL machines are really a great gesture of red hat.

@jwildeboer Thanks for the info.

Has anyone out there run #VICIdial on RHEL?
I'm curious 🤔

@jwildeboer Or you install openSUSE/Leap 15.4 from https://www.opensuse.org/#Leap which is essentially same but you get essentially the SUSE Enterprise Linux and whole lotta of other additional packages (something like RHEL+EPEL … does it still exist?). #PeaceForOurTime
