Red Hat and CentOS: The Exciting Announcement of CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream Launch
Red Hat and CentOS have joined forces once again to bring you the highly anticipated releases of CentOS Linux 8 and the new CentOS Stream. The project lead for the CentOS Project, Karanbir Singh, made the announcement via the CentOS mailing list. Read on to learn all about the latest offerings from these powerhouse partners.
CentOS Linux 8: The Game-Changing Release
Marked as version 8.0-1905, this is the first official release of CentOS Linux 8. Based on sources published by Red Hat and delivered via git.centos.org, this revamped version promises to be faster, more efficient, and more user-friendly.

These notes are constantly updated to include any known issues, and they are a valuable resource for anyone planning to use CentOS Linux 8.
Introducing CentOS Stream: The Future of Open Source Collaboration
With the goal of driving forward development and adoption of next-generation open source technologies, the CentOS Project has grown significantly since joining forces with Red Hat in 2014. Now, in addition to delivering a Linux distribution, the project also offers a variety of sub-communities that support the development work done on top of CentOS Linux. Special interest groups (SIGs) provide a stable platform for layered projects, while other communities focus on modern code and development practices.
And now, with the launch of CentOS Stream, the project is taking their collaboration with Red Hat and the open source community to the next level. As a rolling-release distro situated between Fedora Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS Stream provides a clear path for contributing to future minor releases of RHEL. Interact with Red Hat and other open source developers to share your input and help shape the future of RHEL.
