I have no appreciable Linux skills so forgive my naïvety with this question: In the promo vid on their site, there are a couple of people gaming. Is this alluding to the fact that you can game on RHEL or that it powers the backend of games? Just curious...
Wrote this comment a while ago for anyone wondering about this: Just installed it in a VM, changes that jumped out at me: • No Python (that you should develop against) installed out of the box. There's a /usr/libexec/platform-python (3.6) that yum (dnf) runs against, and then python2/python3 packages you can optionally install if you want to run python scripts. • Kernel 4.18 • No more ntpd, chrony only • /etc/sysconf…
Great news, don't like Python by default. All Linux basic services works great without it.

Good news: They ship PHP 7.2 Bad news: ...without ext/sodium That's a frankly irresponsible decision for Red Hat to make.
Is it perhaps in a separate package, at least?

Why is that? Is it driver-related? Or is it that RHEL is more for stability rather than speed?
RHEL comes with a price tag (although I think they now have free developer licenses.) Also RHEL development moves sloooowly. This is a feature and one of the main reasons to go with RHEL instead of not only unsupported distros but also supported-but-faster-moving distros, kind of like on Windows LTSB (I know to little about both to compare them, but enough to know that in certain organzations the promise that it will…

If anything, CentOS 8 will be faster since they won't have to deal with a big migration this time. IBM has zero incentive to interfere with CentOS, it's the best advertising for RHEL they can get.
The best advertising would be releasing RHEL 8 for free for personal usage. I wonder, how much workstation licenses ($300 per year) they are selling.

Download CentOS grep -rli 'centos' * | xargs -i @sed -i 's/centos]/Oracle\ Unbreakable\ Linux/gi' @ done
It is a little bit more than that.

Aye; this should have been done a long time ago. I wanted to say 'since the beginning' (whenever that was), but maybe there were good reasons 20 years ago that I can't recall. It probably made sense when disk space was a lot more constrained.
It just wasn't the practice back in the day. Does redhat ship a "platform-perl"?
Here are the actual release notes (which don't seem to be linked anywhere from this marketing page): https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...
