CERN Renounces RHEL in Favor of Debian

I often think of Debian as a bit moldy from some changes over the years with legacy support (kludges?) in place, where it seemed more like an outdated Arch Linux at some point once it had switched to systemd.

But if I were CERN, I understand the choice of not getting involved with newer forks that aren't novel distributions you can trust to be around for the long haul. I would choose Debian as well in their place.

This is a dumb and inaccurate headline.

Well, those are functional clones of RHEL/CentOS and unsuitable for CERN as mentioned in the article.
