IBM bought RedHat

[Northrider]

Just a few months ago, IBM purchased RedHat as a merger, and this probably accelerated RedHat's release of RHEL 8.  A public beta is available, but it is based on a 4.x kernel, which LabVIEW doesn't presently support.

All of the derivative distributions, CentOS (my fave) and Scientific Linux will probably upgrade their offerings as well once RHEL 8 is released.

Does anyone know if NI has a migration plan to support LabVIEW with the newer coming versions?

Thanks in advance.

NI's goal is to validate against the latest two versions of each supported Linux distribution and to update our support annually.  RHEL/CentOS continue to be supported distributions.
