ISO Download Links

Development HQ 9 Beta
1

I know AlmaLinux 9.0 hasn’t been officially released yet, but there are download links up on repo.almalinux.org for both 9.0 and 9.0-beta.

The ISOs under 9.0 and 9.0-beta are BOTH AlmaLinux-9.0-beta-1-* for all architectures that I’ve checked.

The names of the directories are “9.0-beta” and “9”. Would you like to bet that the “9” is a symlink that points to “9.0-beta” and will be changed to point to “9.0” once the “9.0” is ready?

Very possible, but still thought I’d point it out in case it was a mistake.

this was not a mistake. it was done in the case that there would be multiple beta versions. seems like we were able to side step that this time thought :slight_smile:
