Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 Enters Beta

[mroche]

Looks like Zen 2 will come with 8.2+ (unless I’m getting my strings crossed). But that’s kind of expected since RH will likely wait for EPYC to be released first.

I’ve been using 8.0 as a virtualized desktop and I have to say it’s really nice. Much more performance compared to 7, and the stream setup is fantastic. Although I am partially confused about their choice of keeping GCC as an SCL instead of converting it into a module stream, but it makes sense in other aspects.

Looking forward to when EPEL and RPMFusion will be available, but until then I can build/rebuild my own RPMs.

Cheers,
Mike

Any idea when CentOS 8 will be released?

I would guess early to mid August. (this is just a guess)
