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

[Leroy Tennison]

Thanks for the information, I did a little research and the differences between Alma and Rocky are irrelevant to me.  Looks like Rocky is more popular and sticks a little closer to RHEL (actually CentOS Stream).  That's what I'll probably go with.

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.

Opening it with xine produced a black screen.  However, opening it with Haruna and slowing the playback down to the slowest setting allowed me to pause on the needed frame (after a couple of tries) and see the messages.
