[TriLUG] CentOS 8 will become CentOS Stream in 2021

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

In the past, I've had good luck using Debian for production environments; 
however, the past couple of employers have been of the Red Hat persuasion.

I stay away from Ubuntu (too many horror stories from people who go to do 
an upgrade and end up with a full re-install).

I did run Gentoo for a while, but after the UDEV-200 fiasco, wouldn't use 
it for anything production (they may have fixed their tendency to 
breakage, but I've been burnt).
