Rocky Linux 9.4
64-bit
Rocky Linux is a community-based alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). For users' convenience, its release versions parallel those of RHEL, and it includes a migration tool, migrate2rocky, for those who wish to switch from RHEL. Rocky's releases usually occur within a week or two of RHEL's releases. Both are geared toward large deployments rather than single-user installations.
Rocky Linux's 9.4 release includes enhanced options for its image builder, including custom mount points and partitioning modes. It also features updates to a variety of security features, ranging from new deny rules for SELinux user space and the ability to install Keylime's verifier and registrar as containers, to the ability to create a directory for provider-specific configuration files in the OpenSSL TLS toolkit and support for modern PostgreSQL clients. Rocky Linux 9.4 also supports the latest releases of popular programming languages and numerous enhancements and upgrades to container management. If this seems like an unusually large number of changes for a point release, it is probably due to Rocky Linux's ongoing efforts to offer a complete RHEL replacement without direct access to RHEL source code.
