Does Anyone Use SUSE Linux
I have been trying to compare Red Hat to SUSE Linux, and can't really come to a definitive solution. I can't seem to find anyone that uses SUSE (Well, hardly anyway), but I found out that they have over double to market share that Red Hat has so somebody is definitely using them. I also noticed that SUSE is cheaper too.
Based on your experiences, what are some of the pros / cons both ways? Who offers better product training (I wan't to get certified directly)? Who has better product support? Is AppArmor better than SELinux?
By the way, I am only looking for commercial linux distributions. Specifically companies that offer product training.

SuSE Vs. RHEL
Anyone out there have experience with SuSE over RedHat? RHEL is obviously the generalized Enterprise version used across most commercial hosting companies, but I'm interested in hearing about some SuSE experiences people have had. It looks like SoftLayer offers SuSE and a couple VPS hosting companies do the same. I'm wondering how many large-scale sites are run on this operating system.

Suse Webserver - Who Does Them
I am having trouble finding any providers that provide Opensuse on their configs. So far, the only one seems to be 1&1 and I certainly do not want to be going near them anytime soon. Does anyone know of a reputable company that can provide Opensuse based servers?

Postfix On Suse Is Not Working
I have a server which runs suse linux on it. Postfix is already installed on it. But, the problem is i am not able to send mail using root. I mean using mail -v command. I could see the following in mail logs. I know 2 files main.cf and master.cf are there. Not, sure what to change and how. Nov 21 21:17:56 CSIDB3 postfix/smtp[14577]: connect to mx3.domain.com [x.x.x.x]: Connection timed out (port 25) Nov 21 21:17:56 CSIDB3 postfix/smtp[14577]: 61715223EE: to=<sabarish@domain.com>, relay=none, delay=30, status=deferred (connect to mx3.domain.com[x.x.x.x]: Connection timed out) The same thing happens will Gmail also. I think outgoing mail is not working at all.

SusE / MAC X-Server Backup
I'm working with a local startup and we are looking into potential backup solutions. We have roughly 9 servers all running some variation of susE linux (some straight susE and some X Server which runs off susE). We are needing a backup solution that will allow us to securely get data off the servers on a regular interval. We are unable to move the data off site as we are running on a single T1 line with moderate utilization, certainly not enough BW to go off site.

Suse, Debian, Fedora Or CentOS
I 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.

My ISP service is highspeed from Comcast (speed right now not an issue), I would like to setup a domain name on the box to play around with - nothing serious yet. I have several domain names purchased (Wildwest & Enom) and would like to use one of those on this box, or even more domains at a later day.

COM On Linux
Most if not all the applications that we produce use PHP/MySQL and we're currently on Windows/IIS environment. We're looking to change our hosting company and upgrade our servers and I'm eager to migrate over Linux/Apache. The only problem is, some of our applications use the COM object to integrate with PowerPoint, can this still be done on Linux. Also is anybody aware of any other potential floors when migrating over?

[EU] Looking, Dedicated Linux
I am currently with a company operating out of the Netherlands, however for what I am spending I do not feel I am receiving timely responses to support tickets (I'm talking days with no reply, at all). So, I am looking to switch. My current budget is around $300 USD/mo, however, I can spend more if the deal is right. I need a host that is not easily scared off by American DMCA take-down notices. Please understand, nothing I do is illegal. In fact, to be blunt, I write software for online games and charge a fee to users who wish to access my software. I was using dedicated hosts within the United States to satisfy my customer base, however, one particular company, Nexon America (just one of the companies whose online games I develop software for) more or less got me dropped by every host I went to. I host absolutely no copyrighted files of any kind, images, textual, video, or binary.

What To Do With A Linux COLOCATION
I currently colocated at Chicago FDC Servers, OUTSTANDING BY THE WAY! Cheap too! But that is not my area of concern, since I already have a colocation, I was wondering if people could give me ideas what to do with it. I colocated because I found them, they offered me an affordable colocation. I do not wish to host STEAM GAME SERVERs like counter strike. If I had a ventrilo license, I could host a huge ventrilo, but I do not. Teamspeak is out of the question.

What's The Best Linux Firewall
I have 3 web servers that I need behind a firewall. Right now they're directly connected to the internet, and have little protection. I'd like to build my own Linux router and have done some research but not sure which is the best solution. The main feature I need is the ability to forward ports based on the destination host header. Most firewall distros only allow you to forward port 80 to one IP address, but I need the router to send to different internal IPs for different sites. I've looked at IPCOP and Smoothwall express and a few others, but the "free" ones don't seem to do this.

Linux Or Windows
I wanted to ask you guys why some hosting companies ask you if you want either linux or windows when you are buying a hosting plan?....does it have anything do to with the way the control panel works or something like that?. I have created a few websites on a host that has linux on its general server info as its operating system. But I have winxp not linux installed on my pc. So my question is what difference it makes if the server is using linux or windows and whats the best choice when you buy a hosting plan.

Linux Routing
I have the following problem with a CentOS server: The main IP of the server is yyy.zzz.www.qqq We've just purchased 3 additional IPs: aaa.bbb.ccc.100, aaa.bbb.ccc.101, aaa.bbb.ccc.102. First, all outgoing traffic used aaa.bbb.ccc.100, but after deleting the gateways from the additional IPs it seemed to work fine, until we found out the following: Now all traffic to aaa.bbb.ccc.XXX uses aaa.bbb.ccc.100 as outgoing IP. What command would change this to use our main IP?

Gentoo Linux
I 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. [url] 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,

Rackspace: Windows Vs Linux
so we are in a situation where we need to upgrade our hosting situation. We are pretty excited about Rackspace, but there is one fairly large issue that we need to overcome. We currently run a Windows based server with a MySql Db. Rackspace (due to contractual deals) do not support that combination. If you want MySql Db then you have to go with the Linux product. So, i can't very easily change my db from MySql to MSSql. Is there issues from going from a Windows Server to Linux Server? I have never dealt with a Linux Server, but the good thing is, the folks at Rackspace seem very helpful and would probably be able to step me through the processes. what are your thoughts? should i switch Server types, or Database Types?

GoDaddy VDS Linux
I have recently purchased a GoDaddy Virtual Server running Fedora 7, with the Plesk Control Panel 8.3 installed - if I had remembered this site then I probably wouldn't have chosed GoDaddy, however my colleague runs a GoDaddy server and it works like a dream. I have only one domain on the site, running Boonex Dolphin 6.1. The site however runs EXCEPTIONALLY slow. I have spoken with many friends that use Dolphin and they have no major issues. I also did a search on Google and found that there appear to be no major speed issues with Dolphin. The site I am running is http://www.tkd-web.com I wondered if some of you guys could take a look and let me know if it looks like a hosting issue or a scripting issue. Or what information do you need to know to find out the answer to this problem. I would be really grateful to anyone that can even point me in the right direction, as I don't want to go off and start shouting the odds about GoDaddy etc, I just want to find the most effective solution to my issue.

IPTABLES (Linux Firewalls)
IPTABLES(Linux Firewalls) Use Of Iptables? Filtering packets based on a MAC address and the values of the flags in the TCP header. This is helpful in preventing attacks using malformed packets and in restricting access from locally attached servers to other networks in spite of their IP addresses. Firewall also keeps track of each connection passing through it and in certaincases will view the contents of data flows in an attempt to anticipate the next action of certain protocols. This is an important feature in the support of active FTP and DNS, as well as many other network services. How IP Tables works? All packets inspected by iptables pass through a sequence of built-in tables (queues) for processing. Each of these queues is dedicated to a particular type of packet activity and is controlled by an associated packet transformation/filtering chain. There are three tables in total. The first is the mangle table which is responsible for the alteration of quality of service bits in the TCP header. This is hardly used in a home or SOHO environment. The second table is the filter queue which is responsible for packet filtering. It has three built-in chains in which you can place your firewall policy rules. a) INPUT Table b) OUTPUT Table c) FORWARD Table General Syntax of the iptables is as follows: IPTABLES -A {INPUT,OUTPUT,FORWARD} -p {tcp,udp} --sport(dport) -s {ip} -j {DROP,REJECT,ACCEPT} To Block the incomming ip: IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport{1..65535} -s {ipaddress} -j DROP {REJECT} To Block the outcomming ip: IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --sport{1..65535} -s {ipaddress} -j DROP {REJECT} You can also use --dport instead of --sport & you can use -d instead of -s which specifies source or destination respectively.
