RHEL8

Share this link

RHEL 8 has now been released.

Here are some aspects of it:

  • it uses the dnf command instead of yum with an identical syntax (yum is an alias for dnf),
  • the file system Btrfs, once in technical preview, is no longer available,
  • concerning the Python language used for most of the system scripts, the version 3.6 will replace Python 2.7 (more details here),
  • about LDAP, OpenLDAP is no longer available, you have to use the 389 LDAP server or something else,
  • you can’t remove NetworkManager from your configuration (it was already the case with the Gnome graphical environment in RHEL 7.5),
  • KDE is removed from the desktop (KDE is deprecated according to the RHEL 7.6 release notes),
  • a new mechanism called application stream is introduced (more details are available here and here).

Additional articles and videos about RHEL 8 are available here.
