Am I crazy in thinking that the shop I was in that has CentOS 3 running their self checkouts should have a more up to date and currently supported OS? These are brand new self checkouts (the shop has had them for about a year now, but you get my point.)
It’s a genuine question. Am I wrong in thinking that using this OS on a self checkout is a terrible idea? (FWIW this shop is an international retailer)
I have no stake in the shop or anything. I just happened to be there when they had to reboot a self checkout and I noticed the OS version as I was going by.
Is CentOS still getting updates? I thought it’s killed by Redhat years ago.
It does not, a few Cisco appliances in our company run / ran cent and AFAIK the infra teams all had to migrate to alma and move everything over with some script from Cisco.
Cent7 stopped getting updates last month. There is at least one mirror still providing the old updates. Not sure about newer versions
