I don't want to say what it is but the best can guess?

Not sure what to make of the statement. Guess I'll reply to take it off the zero thread.

The post was to tell you something without telling you something. The two distros I mentioned are very similar. They known dogs.

I'm confused too. Similar because they are both RHEL but otherwise different in many ways.

I assume there is a security issue about to be told maybe. ?

I gave up on gossip columns when Earl Wilson passed away.

When I was younger saying a little bird told you meant that someone had good information from a inside source. I thought that this was a great idiom but I guess no one gets it any more. When I through out the mention of two Redhat distro numbers I thought your would know and tell me how they were alike. I guess I was looking to see what the Redhat guys knew. Let me now spell it out. I know somebody a nameless insider that works with Redhat customer service. The internal reputation of the distro mentioned above are that they hard a lot of issues and bugs and are not favoured.But if you are going to run a distro the one that is know to be better is 7.1. My impression is this is company wide thinking. Add this to your real knowledge you are never going to get a better source.

I am not going to rely on your little bird. I have seen what those do to my car.

I need the 'nameless insider'`s RH employee badge#, so I can verify this, for my CFNN program on 4/1.

Alternatively, I could use a RHCEcert#. (But I've only budgeted for earning it, sorry.)

Thanks for everyone's prompt attention to this matter, to avoid &| voting below.

Actually, I've heard my RHEL8.4 will contain a single executable. But I need the 'insider' to authenticate this. (I finally got its dpkg to work, via wget, allowing more pkgs that rpm!)

I think the main posters on here will know what "a little bird told me" means given that most of us are not in the flush of youth.

The confusion is caused instead by the fact that your post, and this entire thread, offers us absolutely no information that is of any use. This site is supposed to be about helping folk who have problems using Linux, not posting meaningless "hints" that help no-one except to give the OP some inflated vision of themselves as being "in the know".

In my opinion of course.

I agree, and as these are Grade A unsubstantiated rumours (well, not maybe even that), I'm moving the thread to Linux General to live out its life in peace there.

@kudsu: reading your background nfo you would know why at LQ we favour facts over fiction. (That is, unless you're posting in the General forum where about anything goes from say Windows to Wikileaks.)

Hi,

Unnamed source do nothing but qualify your post as bearing no fact nor value. Here at LQ we use facts not speculations, rumors or innuendo when presenting information
Please consider opening the above linked words so you will understand my meanings.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

The information in the post is accurate but as you say counts only as rumour. I understand. I love LQ and would try to help instead of hurt.

Back to the post. Why did I make this post in this particular way. I wanted to know if anyone knew about the distros and what the thinking inside the company was now. Nobody replied. You don't know me but I ruthlessly and relentlessly go through a process of figuring out things. Alot like my father.

I have come to the following conclusion. LQ is kinda like the best minor league baseball team. It is fun,entertaining, informative, even social. It is the best linux help site on the Internet by far. Some of the gurus are of major league talent. Even I have read numerous times where a moderator has told people who are running a unlicensed version rhel that they need to get it licensed with Redhat. course

Of course Redhat is the major leagues but much more expensive.

I don't the site volumne but I came away after this whether LQ would ever go to a subscription system and even when.

Hi,

When someone recommends to subscribe to Red Hat it's to allow that user to get upgrades and keep that system up to date via the Red Hat repositories. Only way to get those packages via Red Hat repository is to have a valid license from Red Hat.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
