CentOS

With the end of CentOS, I am planning on moving my CentOS 6 and 7 hosts to Ubuntu. My plan is to simply install Ubuntu over CentOS. I know this will leave some orphan files on the system but I am willing to accept that.

Does anyone have any gotchas or other thoughts on this process?

I just want to be able to replace a failed drive seamlessly. Like I've done dozens of times over the years.

I guess the LSI Logic cards are the only game in town. It really bugs me that the software out there (megaraid) hasn't been updated in *years*.

Wow, nothing? I know RAID hasn't fallen out of "fashion."

Preparing to build a new server when Centos 8 is released. What are recommendations for RAID controllers? I loved my old 3Ware controllers (especially the web interface) but those are long gone. The last host I built I used an LSI Megaraid. I see those on Amazon. Less happy with having to use the st...
