Description

typo in the wordpress-and-web-servers lesson under the What is a web server? section (missing 'a'). Corrected sentence - A web server is a computer that is connected to the internet and is configured to serve web pages.

CentOS is listed as popular linux distros, the end of life for CentOS was June of 2024. Suggest replacing CentOS with Rocky since it is equivalent and EOL for current stable version isn't until 2032.

Thanks for reporting @j0eybrinkman I don't use CentOS, so I wasn't aware of this.

Production-Ready Alternatives

Rocky Linux and Alma Linux stand out as robust replacements for CentOS in production environments:

  • Rocky Linux offers 1:1 binary compatibility with RHEL, aiming for "bug-for-bug" consistency. This makes it an ideal choice for organizations seeking a seamless transition from CentOS.
  • Alma Linux provides binary compatibility with RHEL, focusing on Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatibility. While not claiming "bug-for-bug" compatibility, it ensures applications run as smoothly as they would on RHEL.

The original script was a reference to the top 5 Linux distros by usage worldwide on W3Techs, so I'll update the list to replace CentOS with AlmaLinux.
