Hello Community!
The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is announcing the availability of AlmaLinux 9.5 Beta “Teal Serval” for all supported architectures:
Intel/AMD (x86_64)
ARM64 (aarch64)
IBM PowerPC (ppc64le)
IBM Z (s390x)
Beta ISOs are available at repo.almalinux.org.
A usual reminder: this is a BETA release. It should not be used for production installations. The provided upgrade instructions should not be used on production machines unless you don’t mind if something breaks. If you are looking to see how things are going to work in stable, you are on the right track.
Can someone, please, explain to me, what exactly is the purpose of this distro? On their web they say it’s filling the gap that was created by CestOS discontinuation, but, like, there’s ContOS Stream now??
