        This should probably be pinned somewhere unless I missed it, but what's the plan going forward for XCP-NG 8.3+ with respect to OS? Will XCP-NG be using AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, CentOS Steam 9? Please tell me it won't be Debian-based...

          Hi,

          I can tell you it will be still RPM based, for many obvious reasons 🙂 Again, people are giving too much significance on this, since the already critical packages are NOT coming from another existing distro.

            @olivierlambert It's really just a "nice-to-know", since provisioning systems are often based off of the distro version. If xcp-ng uses EL9 as its "base", then I can prepare by making sure the<insert-application-here> configurations to be deployed on a new xcp-ng instance will be compatible with whatever <insert-application-here> version is used on EL9. That's all (for me).

              You shouldn't assume about the distro used as a base, but you can safely assume about being RPM based 🙂
