CentOS Stream 9 and other Unsupported Network Installations

In 2023, we announced that only official Security Onion images are supported and that network installations on certain Linux distros was possible but NOT supported:

One of those compatible distros was CentOS Stream 9. Due to recent package changes, CentOS Stream 9 is no longer compatible and has been removed from the network installation list.


As a reminder, network installations are NOT supported. Just because a distro works today does NOT guarantee that it will work in the future. If at some point in the future a distro stops working, then we will simply remove it from the list rather than trying to fix an unsupported distro.


Below is a screenshot of the updated documentation reflecting this. This will be published at https://docs.securityonion.net/en/2.4/network-installation.html as soon as we release Security Onion 2.4.120.
