CentOS Stream 9 Linux VM Images for VirtualBox and VMware

Introduction

CentOS Stream 9 is a free and open-source enterprise-class Linux distribution. It is a midstream between the upstream Fedora Linux and the downstream development for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL) with additional supports from the CentOS community.

Each major release of CentOS stream starts from a stable release of Fedora Linux. CentOS Stream 9 begins with Fedora 34 and continue further.

There are many reasons to use CentOS Stream 9. One is that it is a rolling release distribution. You do not have to wait for an entire upgrade cycle to experience new features in the rolling release. The system is always up-to-date and secure due to its fast release cycle.

New Features

  1. Kernel v5.14, Python 3.9
  2. The default desktop environment is GNOME 4
  3. Integrated OpenSSL 3
  4. Smart Card authentication via web console
  5. SSH root password login disabled by default
