RHEL is free for like five devices, but requires signing up (I'm pretty sure - as it asks me for my username and password during installation). In this tutorial, we learned about the difference between QEMU and KVM hypervisor. Now that CentOS has changed, you no longer have their 'legendary' support cycles. It's not easy to get a decade of support for free. KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a popular virtualization technology for Linux-based operating systems. I wear glasses and even I could have seen that coming.Īnyhow, back to the point. It's easily disabled but man doesn't it irk a subset of users. This Ubunt Pro bit, including adding it to the terminal, is seen as advertising by some folks and they don't care for it. Most folks only know about the five year's worth of support, which is why (I'm guessing) Ubuntu decided to call it Ubuntu Pro and stick some information in the terminal that's shown during updates.Īs much as I love me some Ubuntu, they sure do some strange stuff. Ubuntu does, but only for three devices (without paying). Not too many free distros offer a full decade of support. Kinda bordering on off-topic, but still a topic from the thread's discussion:
