[bitfolk] CentOS Stream 9

Hi, CentOS Stream 9 is now available for self-install and new installs. https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Using_the_self-serve_net_installer/CentOS_St… We haven't yet sorted out installers for Alma Linux, Rocky Linux or any of the other CentOS-like distributions and although that would be pretty simple I'm not sure that we will do that. It depends upon demand. I believe it's the case that as with CentOS Stream 8.x, you can convert from it to Alma, Rocky or even RHEL without reinstall using a script, so that might have to be the BitFolk-recommended way to do that. We are also going to consult about how much demand there is for RHEL itself. Although that does require a Red Hat subscription, an individual can get a no-cost subscription for personal use on up to 16 systems. We do have to run these VMs under the kernel-lt or kernel-ml kernels from ELRepo though, because Red Hat disables Xen support in its kernels. Therefore such a VM may not be eligible for any form of support from Red Hat which may result in there being no customer demand to do so.
