Gazzin.com offers so many OSs on their VPS deals - CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 4, Gentoo, Opensuse, Suse, Unbuntu. Which one would you advise me to start from?
View 4 RepliesI will be dropping my shared-hosting plan and ordering a small VPS as soon as I can decide on which operating sytem to use. It seems that most companies offer the following choices: Suse, Debian, Fedora and CentOS.
I freely admit that I am a full-fledged n00b when it comes to linux and will be learning as I go, the problem is I just don't know where to start because I'm not familiar with any of them. I have at least heard of Suse, Debian and Fedora before, but didn't even know this CentOS existed until yesterday... and yet, it seems to be one of the more popular choices.
So I was wondering if some of you seasoned VPS veterans here could recommend an OS, tell me what the differences are, or otherwise share any experience you might have with any of them.
Whats the Difference between Fedora Core & CentOS?
I think my host installed the wrong OS, but just wondering to see if it's worth changing the OS if they're both the same.
I currently run a dedicated with redhat 9 and am looking at a new server with either Fedora Core, CentOS, or FreeBSD.
I'd like your opinions on the best o/s to go with overall and also bearing in mind I'm coming from redhat and will be running cpanel on it...
how to install Ubuntu (either 7.10 or 8.04) as a XEN domU guest on a CentOS 5 / Fedora Core 8 XEN dom0 server?
I have tried installing Ubuntu as a fully virtualized guest, but the Ubuntu CD doesn't even bootup. I get the Linux bootloader, and that's it,it doesn't continue to boot. Odd.
When trying to install a Paravirtualized guest, I had to use the debootstrap method, but can't get it to boot up.

how to get Ubuntu working on a CentOS / Fedora Core XEN server?
*NIX systems and am only used to FreeBSD so far. My other only very small and modest experience was with SuSE Enterprise Server (SLES 10). I love FreeBSD (sorry Linux fans) and am somewhat biased towards Linux in general. Although I know the majority of websites are probably hosted by Linux. I am going colo so OS choice is down to me.
However what bothers me even more than this is whether OS should be properly supported (like SLES, RHEL) or totally free (like OpenSUSE, CentOS or FreeBSD)?
What would you recommend as a stable OS for i386 platform and what would be your choice support-wise?
What would you choose for a high-end x64 server aimed at shared web hosting with cPanel? CentOS, FreeBSD or Gentoo?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a Fedora Core 5 VPS currently running PHP 5.1.6, and wish to upgrade to 5.2 so I can run Magento eCommerce software.
I've managed to install yum, and after running yum update php, it just updates to 5.1.x still
My understanding of it currently is I need to point it to new repositories with 5.2 in?
I have a linux server that has active clients on it, its running Fedora Core 4 and I beleive its time to upgrade to the latest Fedora Release.
The server is running cPanel, has anyone here done an upgrade to a box running Fedora before? Any tips or tricks?
I'm hoping its a simple attend data center, reboot server with new Fedora DVD, boot off DVD select upgrade and away we go. . .

I have a server running Fedora 4 and WHM/cPanel. I would like to upgrade the linux kernel to the latest version, so mosey in via SSH and type "yum -y upgrade". It downloads a few things and tells me everything is hunky dory.
Now, the version it says it is currently running is: 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:41:14 EDT 2006
Is that the really the newest version available? Maybe I'm confused as to how this works, but if I go to kernel.org it tells me the most recent stable version of the kernel is 2.6.24.3. Is this because I am running FC4?
I am doing a FRESH install of Fedora Core 6 onto a brand new server. I have 2 questions about partitions on there..
1. Should all the partitions (/home, /backup, /var etc..) be of file system type "ext3?" I could not find any documentation on this anywhere.
2. A question about about LVM (Logical Volume Management). Are you supposed to create a different LVM for each partition? Or just for /tmp?

Fedora 9 vs Centos 5? which is good for running a server? Is both more or less the same?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am about to sign up for a dedicated server, and I have three options to choose from... actally, 6 options:
FEDORA C7 BASIC
FEDORA C7 PLESK 8.3

CENTOS 5.1 BASIC
CENTOS 5.1 PLESK 8.3
Which one should you pick and (most importantly) why?
My hosting service doesn't provide Fedora servers anymore, and they offer only CentOS servers.
I'm now a real Fedora expert , and I don't know if I must change to CentOS in the new servers I acquire.
- Does it take too much time to learn CentOS?
- Is CentOS very similar to Fedora?
- Is CentOS more stable than Fedora?
Which OS is better in security and easy to use for vps beginner:
CentOS™, Debian™, Ubuntu™, Fedora™, or Gentoo™.?
I'm leaning towards centos but am concerned that development priority in that distro will switch over from Xen to KVM as RHEL does. Which distro would you choose for dom0 and why?
View 3 Replies View Relatedwhich is best for running a server? debian or centos?
i have seen many companies prefer using centos for running servers quite often. Any specific reason for that or am i missing something here.
I am currently using Ubuntu (debian) server 7.10 for web hosting but see a lot of discussions about Linux centos.
Which linux OS do you prefer for hosting and why....
Just figured I would throw that out there.
I'm not a Debian user, so I want some advice how to install Debian 4 as guest OS on top of Centos 5.2 dom0.
Mostly on Google, there's a manual on Centos on top of Debian. I've tried to use the netinstall iso for debian and mount it on /var/www/html/debian and use it for remote install source. So far don't have any success on that.
I am attempting to migrate from a debian os server with the latest plesk 12 to Centos (rather cloudlinux) and would like to know if there are any options that should not be checked during the process?
I recently tried to do the normal procedure, which is to transfer all objects, etc. And for some reason the percentage went from 1-50% to then back to zero.. but when clicking to check the current status, its still working
Status: in progress
Current operation deploying domain.com
current operation progress: empty bar
Different sites are transferring, but I am not sure if the migration will effect the system because the difference in OS folder structure and file location.
For some reason I am having issues with latest Plesk with php and wordpress. HTML sites are fine, but all php and wordpress sites are giving a 502 error after fully migrating. I repaired with Webserver Configurations Troubleshooter and rebooted and its still giving me the same issue.Also, noticed my previous server had php 5.4.36, the new CentOS server has 5.4.37.
