From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Best community to ask Red Hat questions? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I have an issue with some servers at work where I have been unable to determine the best course of action to address it based on pre-existing knowledge within my team or web searches. Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to ask RHEL-specific questions? I don't want to presume that it's OK to post such nitty-gritty technical questions here.

RHEL has some questions/answers forum behind their paywall. As you have RHEL somebody within your organization should have an account with access to it.

Its not a paywall. You can register for free and look up all the articles but of course wont get customer support. @OP maybe ask your questions just here, I bet most linux enterprise dudes got their fingers alot on RHEL/CentOS, me included.

Thank you, I've now asked my question within this same thread: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1840823

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks! Yes, I have access to their community. I wasn't sure if that was the best place to ask though. Their community software is a bit clunky, and sometimes official forums are not always the best place to ask.

Maybe you have a problem with a specific open source product which is an upstream of a RH product, then the open source product will have their own community forum, e.g. the RH product Satellite and the open source community The Foreman. Or directly in some kind of CentOS or Fedora forum for OS problems. But it will probably fastest if you just open a ticket with RH for your problem.

Just now saw the comment with the link to your question, disregard my last comment. 😁

No problem, thanks for the suggestions!
