Greetings. I’m a sysadmin at [NBER](https://www.nber.org). We are a small non-government research institution, most famous for our [Business Cycle Dating Committee](https://www.nber.org/research/business-cycle-dating) which decides (6 months after the fact) officially when the US economy goes into / out of a recession. In February we will be upgrading to a new root for our diskless booting compute servers, using RL9. We are coming from Scientific Linux 7. I want to appreciate all the good work the team at Rocky Linux have done to make RL9 happen and work smoothly. It meets our needs very well. - Alex Aminoff NBER ---
