    A: thank God for debian

    2: about service contracts, they burned a ton of good will when they killed centos like 5 times, if we see a solid 3rd party take up a supported debian release (not Ubuntu, a solid one) then we could have a ballgame.

    I’m just glad redhat is shooting themselves in the dick, we need less proprietary dependencies, not more.

    You’re right, except I don’t see businesses moving from RHEL to Debian. Businesses are trying to buy support contracts, which Debian doesn’t have. But RedHat is trying to get vendor lock-in so businesses can’t switch to another RHEL compatible platform, even if support is offered. And for sure, RedHat “support” will be pushing solutions that only work on RHEL, not generic Linux.

      Perhaps this is SUSE’s time to shine 😄? I believe SUSE Enterprise Linux has a product that allows for binary compatibility with RHEL and CentOS on SLE.
