["Robert G. (Doc) Savage" <dsavage@peaknet.net>]

I got a nice reply from Allen Hillier at 45drives.com in Newfoundland (Canada). The link to their video about Rocky Linux is interesting:

Hi Doc,

 

I apologize for the delayed response.

 

We absolutely will be supporting Rocky Linux and we actually are one of the primary sponsors.

 

The 1^st release is set to happen on Mar. 31^st and about 2 weeks after that once we have all our internal testing and development we will be offering it.

 

I’ll keep you posted as to when we can offer it to you.

 

Below is a good video from our lead engineer that will provide you some insight.

Thanks,

Allan,

 

As you can probably imagine, a lot of us in the CentOS community have been watching the new Rocky Linux project with great anticipation. I see here:

that 45drive.com is also interested in Rocky Linux.
