Hi,

Only a small question.
The File Recovery Enabler for Linux FRE is based on CentOS
As you know, RedHat  stopped with CentOS, at leat they will stop the way it used to be. 
CentOS will become CentOS stream, and Centos 8 will become out of support end of this year.

Does Commvault have any plans with regards to this? Will they switch to CentOS streams? (I think that will be difficult for support reasons?)

Got confirmation that we will use Oracle Linux 8.

Hi Bart,

We are looking at other alternative distributions to continue to provide a FREL that is downstream from RHEL. So more to come a bit later.
