[NTLUG:Discuss] Has anyone gotten RHEL/CentOS 10.0 to install as a Qemu/KVM VM?

[David Eddleman]

A lot of those are downstream forks of RHEL. CentOS was the first, but
there's many of them. Oracle Linux is the biggest one, and is commercial,
the rest are usually community driven. Rocky and Alma are the biggest two
free ones. AWS' Amazon Linux 2/2023 are both based on RHEL, 7 and 8
respectively. They are within 99% the same, might be some minor changes to
cut out proprietary code to maintain GPL/GNU/BSD/etc. licensing.
