Users looking to run an EL-like linux that pre-dates RedHat’s derivation and meddling will want to look at PCLinuxOS .
Its pedigree is mageia, so Mandrake and Conectiva.
While it’s got a horrifically bad PXE install, and while that means Vagrants and templates are ghetto and thin on the ground, it’s otherwise a very fine OS with a wide compatibility range that RH couldn’t even match with this AppStream bullshit (ohai, /etc/alternatives).
Oh man, I dont really have any input on this toopic, but it’s so nice to see a PCLOS recommendation! I used PCLOS for years as my daily driver, had my home network all PCLOS, even jad the wife and kids on it. Great distro.

I’m glad you mentioned magiea. I love it so much but it’s never talked about. People should really take a look at it.
