As the more observant among you may have noticed, the RHEL 8.0 beta dropped today.
To avoid the many "when can we expect the CentOS 8 beta" questions that usually come up, CentOS does not build beta versions so there will be no CentOS 8 beta. The first CentOS 8 will be the rebuilt RHEL 8.0 GA once that comes out upstream in however long it takes them to release it.
The RHEL 8 beta is free to download and you are encouraged to do so, experiment with it and give your feedback to Redhat in order to improve the final result.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: RHEL 8.0 beta released
In case the links above don’t quite work and you are using the free developer license:
https://developers.redhat.com/rhel8/getrhel8/
For me the 8.0 beta didn’t show up in my account as an available download (license was acquired, though) when I signed up, so I needed to get it off the above link.
Cheers,
Mike

When is CentOS 8 coming out?
Just a question. I've seen the RHEL 8 announcement so that's why I wonder.

Re: RHEL 8.0 beta released
Here are the release notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 Beta:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation ... ase_notes/
My take on them (in bold what I like, the rest not so much):
https://access.redhat.com/documentation ... ase_notes/
My take on them (in bold what I like, the rest not so much):
- Stratis, local storage manager, use it to manage RAIDs, Logical Volumes and Filesystems.
- Wayland is the default display server.
- SSSD used to resolve local users and groups, instead of directly querying /etc/passwd.
- The nftables framework replaces iptables in the role of the default network packet filtering facility.
- The extended Berkeley Packet Filtering (eBPF) feature is available as a Technology Preview for both networking and tracing.
- YUM based on DNF.
- XFS supports copy-on-write of file extents (useful for snapshoting single files).
- TLS 1.3 support.
- PHP is 7.2 and uses FPM by default.
- NTP replaced by Chrony.
- Cannot disable NetworkManager.
- Bloat: IdM (Identity Management Domain), Cockpit.
Re: RHEL 8.0 beta released
one can only hope an option is made available to not install things like cockpit..

Re: RHEL 8.0 beta released
GA released. When is centOS due?
Re: RHEL 8.0 beta released
Since the beta period has now ended and RHEL 8.0 is GA, I am closing and locking this thread.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
