CloudLinux, a company that has long established an RHEL clone for web hosting and server companies, has announced that it will also create a new CentOS distribution clone, AlmaLinux. The new distribution is now available as a beta.

The CloudLinux distribution supports AlmaLinux with a $1 million annual donation and promises that this first release based on RHEL 8.x will be supported until at least 2029. The new distribution relies on the community to fill the gap left by its retirement stable of CentOS.

"As promised, the main development and maintenance was done by the CloudLinux team. We are now appealing to the community for its contributions, "said CloudLinux founder and CEO Igor Seletskiy.

"In the spirit of the Community Initiative, we need help with testing, documenting, supporting and designing the future roadmap."

The AlmaLinux distribution is developed in collaboration with the community via its GitHub page. The finalized it will be available once the stable version is released.

AlmaLinux beta comes with its own debugger. CloudLinux developers will work closely with bug tickets to ensure they can deliver an extremely stable distribution. Registered users will be able to submit bug reports that will be checked and prioritized by the technical team.
