       Wow that would be a big job transitioning that many systems over to Debian after Red Hat dropped support for older CPUs."CERN Transitioning Industrial Computers To Debian After Being A Longtime RHEL Institution"https://x.com/DanielW_Kiwi/status/2097115679753478449https://nitter.poast.org/DanielW_Kiwi/status/2097115679753478449

       @Dan_Ramos Big job - not really if they set things up right.I maintained a handful of builds for a large real time simulator. LIke- developer's machine (which could run a version of the simulation slower than real time)- cluster head node- cluster target node- operator's console- the rsync server we used to push master copies & updatesand a few other builds.We could rebuild the delivered systems in under a day if we needed to. Updates to the simulation in a few minutes.

       @Dan_Ramos I love Debian. I use it everywhere, laptops, desktops, and AI Boxes with new hardware. It just works.

       @Fox So far, it might be my favorite general computing operating system, yeah.It's what I put on my mother's ancient laptop and it works splendidly and she seems to like it.  (She fukkin hates computers.. but Linux is perfect for her.)

       @Dan_Ramos I got access to a bunch of old hardware made pseudo-chromebooks out of them and passed them out like candy to family kids. The adults weren't super happy about it, but hey, it's a freaking real computer they can learn on if they want to.🤣
