Wrote this comment a while ago for anyone wondering about this:<p>Just installed it in a VM, changes that jumped out at me:<p>• No Python (that you should develop against) installed out of the box. There's a /usr/libexec/platform-python (3.6) that yum (dnf) runs against, and then python2/python3 packages you can optionally install if you want to run python scripts.<p>• Kernel 4.18<p>• No more ntpd, chrony only<p>• /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is a ghost town, save for a lonely ifcfg file for my network adapter. No more /etc/init.d/network, so /etc/init.d is finally cleaned out. It looks like static routes still go in route-<adapter> and you ifdown/ifup to pull those in (it calls nmcli).<p>• Pretty colors when running dmesg!
Here are the actual release notes (which don't seem to be linked anywhere from this marketing page):<p><a href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/8.0_release_notes/index" rel="nofollow">https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...</a>

I have no appreciable Linux skills so forgive my naïvety with this question:<p>In the promo vid on their site, there are a couple of people gaming. Is this alluding to the fact that you can game on RHEL or that it powers the backend of games?<p>Just curious...
They don't appear to have updated their official Docker registry yet but it should hopefully be available soon for anyone who needs to test things:<p><a href="https://access.redhat.com/containers/?tab=images#/registry.access.redhat.com/rhel8" rel="nofollow">https://access.redhat.com/containers/?tab=images#/registry.a...</a><p>Following the pattern of <a href="https://access.redhat.com/containers/?tab=images#/registry.access.redhat.com/rhel8-beta" rel="nofollow">https://access.redhat.com/containers/?tab=images#/registry.a...</a> and <a href="https://access.redhat.com/containers/?tab=images#/registry.access.redhat.com/rhel7" rel="nofollow">https://access.redhat.com/containers/?tab=images#/registry.a...</a>
