AlmaLinux 8 or 9?

[muscator]

I have been using AL9 for almost 2 years now and although servers had some minor issues, they all seem to have been solved with the release of cwppro 130 - there might still be some minor issues I haven´t come around yet, but I can recommend AL9 and cwp together now.

If I was to start on a fresh server, I would still wait a while, to be sure that cwp is up to speed on AL10 as well - they might be, but I haven´t checked it yet

If there is enough time, do a testinstall with AL10 and see if it rolls without major issues

If it does have issues, delete and go for AL9

As Starburst mentions elsewhere, AL9 is security supported for several years to come, although major changes runs out next year
