Hey, folks, in this video, I'm going to cover S.O.S versus Sento a stream, a lot of people have
this confusion and they are so many questions that are going around.
What is Santoya stream?
Is S.O.S going to die?
Is there going to be any support for S.O.S?
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to be very short and precise to answer this question.
So the first thing is let's talk about a brief history of Santos, where it came from.
Santos is a community enterprise operating system, which means that a bunch of volunteers that actually
work together to make that operating system.
So going back to the history in 2004, there's a guy named Greg Kertzer.
He actually took the code from RedHat operating system because it had an operating system is an open
source is available to public.
So what he did, he took the source code and it actually put a different branding on that.
And he called that new operating system, S.O.S.
And then a lot of people, actually a lot of volunteers started contributing toward that S.O.S open
source project.
Then in 2014, RedHat actually came back and acquired S.O.S Operating System Community.
And their code is like one to one everything that they have in RedHat operating system, they have instant
OS.
So before February 20, 21, the way it was a trickle down was from Fedorov.
Fedora is also another open source project by RedHat.
So they create this this project, this source code of the operating system.
Then they push it down to Red Hat Enterprise, Linux operating system and then they push it down to
S.O.S.
Now, what's going to happen is after February 2021, it's going to change its sequence.
The way it streams, it's going to be fedora.
Then Pompadour is going to go straight to S.O.S Stream and then from a stream it's going to go to Red
Hat Enterprise Linux.
So in other words, until S.O.S eight, all updates will be pushed down from Red had eight with S.O.S
Stream, the updates will be pushed down from S.O.S to RedHat.
That is why S.O.S is now called the upstream instead of downstream.
OK, so the bigger question is now, is it worth learning center operating system?
And the answer is absolutely.
You will need to support S.O.S or RedHat doesn't really matter.
The version that you will be supporting is for five, six, seven, eight.
Those are all identical.
RedHat and S.O.S is identical and so on.
The red S.O.S stream is going to be the same as RedHat.
Therefore, regardless whether RedHat comes first or S.O.S, you will need to learn Lennix and there
is no best free Linux flavor then S.O.S.
