I would like to get a second opinion on this. I was going to put CentOS 64 bit on my server but I have been told to put the 32 bit version on it instead because it is a more stable version. I have never heard this before and am new to doing colo and would like to verify this before I end up doing something I may forget?

my server is P4 3.6GHz HTT with 2GB RAM
I've made a how to, based on my personal knowledge about upgrading a CentOS 3, RedHat 9, or 8?, Fedora Core, and maybe others, to the new CentOS 4.5 OS. (or CentOS 4.x)

Please post, comments, questions, etc. here.
I've myself upgraded many servers this way, (even, tonight, I upgraded another, so I finally decided to do this with all my notes)
linux and after several days testing different distributions and a bunch of different ways (e.g. freenx,vnc XFCE ...) I've decided to setup a vnc-server on CentOS-5-i386-minimal and use KDE as a desktop environment.
After reloading my vps with centos-5-i386-minimal, I logged in as root and executed:
Code:
yum update
yum -y groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox X11 xorg
I then added a user "abt" and set the password. Then I logged in as abt and execute : vncserver, it asked for the password and created the appropriate .vnc directory and files.
I then edited xstartup file and replaced "twm &" with "startkde &" and executed vncserver once again, this created desktop number 2 for me.
The problem is that after running TightVNC(on vista) and entering IPNUMBER:2, It successfully connects to vnc-server but what i get is a black screen with X cursor!
i have a colo server, lately im having problem, every 2-3 oclock in the morning my server crash, i asked the server management to have a look at it but no luck, they install rpm, reduce the http max, etc, etc ( i dont want to mention the name since my server management have helped me alot and its not fair for them if i speak a bad thing about them ) anyway,
I bought the server from siliconmechanics iServ R254

Is there really no package in yum for APC (Alternative PHP Cache)? Everything I'm seeing suggests I build it from source.
Is this the way to go? I can, it just seems unlikely to me that there's no build of it.
is there any GUI ( pre installed ) in centOS 4 ..
if yes, how can we access it,
if no, how can we install GUI and access it...
Will be reloading server OS and wondering with which one of those should I go?
Now using 4.6
I have dedicated works on Centos 4. Now I have to reinstall OS. Administrators recommend me to put again Centos 4 and I would like to install Centos 5. Would like to hear opinion of professionals what it is better to put?

I need to install all the ffmpeg/transcoding junk - something I've done before...
...but now, I'm having huge issues. Yum and up2date don't seem to have *any* idea of where anything, from ffmpeg to flvtool2 is.
I'm crap at quite a bit (read most) of the command line stuff. Whadddoo I need to do? Why is yum telling me there are no matches for the damn stuff?
How can I get from A to B properly without the hassle?
I did have a VPS before, with memset.com - and all this stuff installed fine on Fedora 4 (it was a VMWare based VPS so everything worked, unlike the Xen based ones I've experienced).

I have been using Centos for several years but have not been a user long enough to see what happens when the new version comes out.
I expect Centos 4 will be around a while however how quickly are hosting companies planning to adopt Centos 5?
I've recently started using apt on centos, using the tutorial I found on dag's site. So far I'm enjoying it, since I have years and years of experience running debian unstable.
Are there any caveats? Has anyone here tried doing a dist-upgrade to a new version (say CentOS 5)?
whats the difference with 32bit centos and 64 bit
I heard 64 bit gives better Mysql Performances but if I get 64 bit will I be able to use the same stuff I use on my 32 bit currenty?

(i dont know the command to check how much of my processors im using). im going to assume that that is also 50% or below. if any one has this command please let me know. if its not either of those im guessing its either bad routing be bounced everywhere, or some more localize like datacenter issue, bad router or something.
