CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core 3 & 4, Gentoo, Opensuse, Suse, Unbuntu?
Dec 22, 2008Gazzin.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?

Apr 8, 2008We are basically looking for advice on which OS to choose. CentOS appeals as it is basically RHEL - and since people are paying for that they must be doing something right. It is apparently uber stable because the versions have been tested to death... but because the packages are so out of date, or just not there, we will need to install many things from source, which defeats the point to using it for its stability.
FreeBSD seems to have an awful lot of up to date packages, took a look at it on Distrowatch and was very impressed by many are the latest versions. This would make life so much easier because the package manager can handle installs and updates, really can't be bothered with messing around compiling software for install/updates.
In my mind, if an open source project as mature as the likes of Apache, PHP or MySQL, I am pretty sure you are very unlikely to experience problems by using the latest stable version. Surely by using older versions you are more likely to experience problems as of the result of bugs/security exploits that have only been fixed in the more recent releases.
Would you use FreeBSD or CentOS/RHEL? Or are both equally as good?

Fedora, FreeBSD, Or CentOS
Apr 13, 2008I 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
FREEBSD 6.3 BASIC
FREEBSD 6.3 PLESK 8.3
CENTOS 5.1 BASIC

OpenSUSE, CentOS Or FreeBSD?
Dec 18, 2008*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?
FreeBSD & CentOS (MySQL)
Mar 13, 2007Setting up a storage and web server.
For transferring files from the storage to the web server, i was planning on streaming it over a private gigabit network line.
FreeBSD would be the best choice in terms of network thorouput correct?
Would FreeBSD also be a good choice for the web server as well? ( web + database on 15k scsi drives )
I've been reading a few posts on google about MySQL performance on FreeBSD but am not sure how well those results are substantiated - so I'm looking for a bottom line comparison between FreeBSD and CentOS in terms of network thoroughput and MySQL performance.

Servers With Gentoo
Nov 2, 2009Which dedicated server providers offer Gentoo Linux?
View 8 Replies View RelatedGentoo Linux
Apr 26, 2007I am strongly planning to switch to a Gentoo Linux Distrobution for my MySQL database server. I have heard from a lot of programmers and developers that Gentoo linux, if you know what you are doing, is an ideal operating system, due to its fully customizable architecture.
One particular reason why I want to switch is because of performance. It handles multi CPU machines very efficiently. Just take a look at these MySQL benchmarking multi-platform test results.

Therefore, is there anything I should consider? I am planning to use the server for MySQL only, and the MySQL database server will be compiled from source.
So for anyone who has Gentoo linux installed,

FreeBSD Top States
Feb 11, 2007I've been using FreeBSD for a while now, but I still feel like a novice when looking at top because I don't understand or know what all of the STATES mean. I know that many of them represent different kernal states and certain programs have their own unique STATES, but what do the usuals mean? man top only has 2-3 listed with very vague descriptions.
Does anyone here understand many of them? If so it would be greatly appreciated if you could write up a few of the basic ones.
select
nanslp
kserel
RUN
pause
lockf
kqread
sbwait
pipered
Those are the ones I currently see in top. I know there are probably thosands of others, but those are the ones I usally look at.
FreeBSD & FFMPEG
Mar 15, 2007after many painstaking hours, im at a loss as to where to go now (finally managed to get up to the point of running phpize in the ffmpeg directory)
...
Originally I thought i had compiled it in when compiling PHP,
Infact:
Code:
'./configure' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--with-ffmpeg=yes' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
But when i go to the tests/ffmpeg_test.php file I get:
Code:
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so' - Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so" in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/tests/test_ffmpeg.php on line 17
Can't load extension /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so
I used the ports tree to install FFMPEG and here is the version info:
Code:
bsd# ffmpeg -v
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4718, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
built on Mar 14 2007 20:42:22, gcc: 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305
After finally getting to this point, i say the heck with it and just decide to try and use phpize and compile it in that way as an extension ( following: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ ).
However, after I got phpize to work ( had to cp autoconf259 and autoheader259 to autoconf and autoheader since it was complaining about it ), it gave me this set of errors:

Stop in /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0.
After I get all this working and install it on a another machine I plan on writing a guide for FreeBSD users inside the tutorials section - but this one part has stumped me.
The only thing I can think of is something along the lines of maybe i downloaded a 64 bit version of something along the way?
Should i continue along this route with phpize adding it as an extension, or does someone else have some information on that ffmpeg_test.php file?

but it cant work. i couldnt understand why it aint.
i created a shell file and changed the cron like:

so, /path/anydir have been created but file.php not executed. so the problem is not about cron rule.
