Migrating ER2 to CentOS 7

New installations of ER2 will now utilize CentOS 7, which features an updated kernel, improved security features, and enterprise-class maintenance and support that continues until June 2024.

Ground Labs will continue to support existing ER2 installations based on CentOS 6 until its end of life date in November 2020. The Ground Labs Support Team (support@groundlabs.com) is available to assist customers who would like to migrate their existing installations to CentOS 7.
