 ### What is AlmaLinux?
 
-AlmaLinux OS is a community-owned and driven, stable and secure *Linux®* distribution that is binary compatible with *RHEL*.
+AlmaLinux OS is a community-owned and driven, stable and secure *Linux®* distribution that is compatible with *RHEL*.
 
 ### Can I do X, Y, or Z with AlmaLinux?
 
-Sure! AlmaLinux OS, much like RHEL and CentOS Stream is a general purpose operating system. If it works with upstream (RHEL) then it should work exactly the same on AlmaLinux. We are not 1:1 with CentOS Stream, as Stream may at points track ahead of our releases.

-### Will you always be binary compatible with RHEL?
+### What does ABI/binary compatible with RHEL mean?
 
-Unless RHEL dramatically shifts development direction (again), our response will continue to be yes. 
+In July of 2023, [we announced](https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/) that we were shifting our goal from being a downstream rebuild of RHEL to maintaining ABI compatibility with RHEL. For the AlmaLinux team that means that everything from software applications to kernel modules that work on RHEL will work on AlmaLinux, and if they don't we would consider that a bug.
 
-In July 2023 we changed directions from a 1:1 binary downstream rebuild of RHEL to a goal of binary compatibility. You can read more about that on our [blog](https://almalinux.org/blog/impact-of-rhel-changes/).
+### Is AlmaLinux OS FIPS-140 compliant??
+
+AlmaLinux OS 9.2 is FIPS-140 compliant. Read more in this blog post: [FIPS Validation for AlmaLinux OS](https://almalinux.org/blog/2023-09-19-fips-validation-for-almalinux/)
 
 ### Where did the name "AlmaLinux" come from?
 
 We chose the name AlmaLinux in homage to the open source community around the world. Alma means soul in Spanish and other Latin languages. A vital part of Open Source is the passionate, diverse developer community, helping support the work of projects like the Linux kernel and really all open and free software. We believe that community is the soul of Linux, and Linux distribution users are indebted to the community's efforts.
 
-### How is the community protected from future development roadmap changes?
+### How is the community protected from future course changes?
 
-The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is committed to supporting the community and promoting transparency in all things. The AlmaLinux OS Foundation involves the community as members of the foundation and enables them vote for the governing board. AlmaLinux will always be free and open-source.
+The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a 501(c)(6) that was founded in March of 2021 to own and manage the AlmaLinux OS project. We have been involving the community since the beginning, and the governing board is chosen by members of the foundation. At all times, AlmaLinux OS will be free and open.

 ### Is AlmaLinux secure?
 
-AlmaLinux provides a commitment to security updates and bug fixes for a period of at least 10 years. Moreover, AlmaLinux provides [Errata](/documentation/errata.md), [public OVAL streams](/documentation/oval-streams.md), [OpenSCAP](/documentation/openscap-guide.md) and SCAP Workbench packages, including the availability of the official [CIS Benchmark for AlmaLinux](https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/almalinuxos_linux). AlmaLinux has [SBOM](/documentation/sbom-guide.md) integrated into our build pipeline, facilitating software supply chain security.

 ### How do I migrate a single host from CentOS to AlmaLinux?
 
 AlmaLinux developed a [migration tool](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy) to make it simple to migrate to AlmaLinux from other Linux distributions including CentOS and CentOS Stream.

 ### How do I migrate an entire fleet of servers from CentOS to AlmaLinux?
 
-Yes.  AlmaLinux is binary compatible with RHEL, which means that your applications and services should be completely interoperable. For that reason, you can rapidly migrate any number of servers using the [migration tool](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy).

 ### How do I migrate from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8?
 
 The AlmaLinux community has developed the ELevate project as an initiative to support migrations between a major version of RHEL-derivatives. It uses the [Leapp utility](https://leapp.readthedocs.io/) and a few [patches](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/leapp-repository/commits/almalinux) to support migration from CentOS are used to perform the upgrade.
