Every six months, the upstream Enterprise Linux community ships a new minor release and retires the previous one. Your upgrade calendar resets: regression testing, compliance recertification, change management approvals.
For teams running FIPS-validated environments or certified application stacks, that cadence is not just inconvenient. It is incompatible with how production infrastructure actually works.
LTS gives your team control over when updates happen so you can plan in years, not react in weeks.
We just published a deep dive on what enterprise LTS actually means, what to look for in a provider, and why your compliance calendar does not care about upstream release schedules.

STARGATE RETURNS!
Yes, it’s true. 14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU’s “Gauntlet”), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon. And it’s not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of Stargate history. It’s a new series that will be the perfect jumping-on point for first-time viewers while, at the same time, honoring the existing past. And the reason for that is because this new series was created by longtime franchise veteran Martin Gero who worked on SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, writing such notable fan favorites as The Storm, The Eye, Duet, First Strike, Be All My Sins Remember’d and many more.
Joining the production of the new series is Brad Wright, co-creator and co-showrunner of all that came before – Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. Martin has kindly offered yours truly a role on the project as well and I have happily accepted.
Martin has been developing this show for a while now. A little over a year ago, he reached out and asked “Want to read something cool?”. That something, it turned out, was his pilot script for the new Stargate series. Now I obviously can’t say too much about the content at this point – but I can assure you that it embraces everything that made the original Stargates so great: heart, humor, rich mythology, exploration, action, adventure, compelling/endearing characters, and that overall sense of optimism and fun that made you fall in love with Stargate.
You are all in for a treat.
Eventually.
Now putting this production together is going to take some time even though Martin has already done a lot of the preliminary heavy lifting, writing the pilot script and series overview that details the show, its world and characters, as well as his plans for the first season and beyond. Between now and the series premiere somewhere down the line, the writers room must be assembled, stories need to be spun, scripts written, prep started, crew hired, actors cast and, eventually, a new Stargate series produced.
It will take a while but Martin shares my philosophy when it comes to dialing in the fandom, so expect to receive updates throughout the prep, production, and post process. Concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, videos and insights, breaking news and much much more!
Get ready. We’re heading through the gate one more time.
Chevron Eight is locked!
And that’s a wrap on SC25. Congratulations to everyone who made this show a success: the organizers, exhibitors, speakers, students, and every person who stopped by to share ideas, challenge thinking, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
We look forward to continuing the conversation about building the future of secure and performant infrastructure for HPC, AI, and modern workloads. The work we’re doing together is just getting started.
Thank you for an amazing week. Until next time!

@CohhCarnage@inXile I so want a follow-up game for this.... Was hoping on so many "spiritual successor" to be decent but so so few have come even remotely close.

Please consider voting for Ultima to join the Strong Museum Hall of Fame. It would encourage them, and myself, to get together and create a worthy display for the series!
Thanks, Richard Garriott / Lord British
@SplattrCatGames Don't know you personally, I am just a fan of course. But please accept my condolences, and know that your absence has been missed and that I hope you feel better after taking all the time you need. Welcome back and thank you for sharing your content and your life with us.
RIP Bram Moolenar.
I'm grateful for Bram's work on Vim and for the impact it has had on the world. Thank you for everything, Bram!

@georgemporter @opensolaris Now bring back my sunray's with smart card hot seating (hey WANS and internet connections are fast enough now to properly session pull over the VPN) heh I miss when Sun / NeXT had proper hardware/os offerings.
@elonmusk Hey Elon do you need a Mobile Kineto Tracking Mount here in Austin, TX to track launches cheaply? With a cool history?
