Introduction

Red Hat has announced that it will shift its center of gravity from CentOS to CentOS Stream.

Until now, I think there were many places where the development environment was CentOS and the production environment was RHEL. With this announcement, Rocky Linux and Lenix have been announced as RHEL clone projects.

It's a frank impression that the open source world has moved in the same way that Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in the past. We will wait until which distribution will be established in the market as an RHEL clone in the future.

Personally, I think it's a good opportunity to review the distribution at this opportunity. Ubuntu is a minor in the Japanese server market, but in the long run I think Ubuntu is one of the best options.

We distribute image files compatible with WSL2 and Raspberry Pi of Windows 10, so I think it is ideal for application development and operation.

I myself prepared the Web application development environment on the client terminal by referring to the following article.

Ubuntu will be a desktop version, but it was mainly used from the beginning of its release until Unity was adopted. I've been estranged since I returned to GNOME, but I'd like to use Ubuntu for personal use.

This time, we will install Ubuntu Server.
