@"Hidden Refuge": Well needless to say, as always you've come up with a great news. I'd seen the news and wanted to post it here, but unfortunately you got lucky to post it before me. Well nevermind. Hardly matters who posts it. I'd been closely following updates on CentOS 8 for the past few months and had been tracking updates on things done and things to be done.

Well, indeed a great update. I was very excited to know that dnf support is enabled this time from Fedora.

Also, it's indeed good to know the time frame CentOS team had designed for maintaining CentOS 7 as well, in addition to the brand new CentOS 8.

As @LightDestory already highlighted, I won't be able to use it on my VPS 9 due to issues with OpenVZ. But I can surely launch one VM on AWS or Azure, whichever launches the ISO first. I've my student credits, so not an issue for me to keep it running 24x7x365. As soon as I can get it, I'll be posting a review of an AWS VM with CentOS 8 perhaps.

One more thing - even if the issues with OpenVZ weren't there, still I couldn't upgrade to CentOS 8. This is because doing so woul break VestaCP, the heart of my VPS 9. Till date, we haven't seen a patch for Ubuntu 19, so expecting a patch for CentOS 8 before a few months time, is in vain.

Anyways, after I'm done experimenting, I'll share my experience with it.

Regards,
