CentOS (Linux), downstream of RHEL:
https://centos.org/centos-linux/

CentOS Stream, upstream of RHEL:
https://centos.org/centos-stream/


This is a more tested variant of PR #856

Adressing some comments from Issue #342

Both distributions have the same CentOS identifier:

NAME="CentOS Linux"
VERSION="8"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="8"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 8"
VERSION="8"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="8"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Stream 8"

But Stream is always testing the next Linux version.

Apparently a lot of people want to help out testing the next version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux...

It's not very easy to make an installable version of RHEL itself.... Since it needs to be registered.

But there are plenty of other RHEL clones available, marked with 🎩

Note: it is impossible to spell Stream 8, err 8-Stream, err stream8, whatever...

If looking for images, they are over at the Red Hat registry: quay.io/centos/centos

Explain "what happened" with centos.yaml vs centos-stream.yaml

Make experimental example for stream9, next to current stream8.
