CentOS Or FreeBSD
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 but because the packages are so out of date, or just not there, we will need to install many things from source, which defeats the point to using it for its stability.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
CENTOS 5.1 PLESK 8.3
Which one should you pick and (most importantly) why?
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?
CentOS, FreeBSD Or Gentoo

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.
Which Operating System Fedora Core, CentOS, FreeBSD

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Setting Up On CPanel Box With FreeBSD
Jun 7, 2005Setting up an IRC/cPanel box with freeBSD
Well this "guide" if you like, doesn't really have a purpose, it both shows you how to setup a basic irc box (just installing oidentd), its mainly targeted towards installing cPanel on freeBSD.
I used freeBSD 5.4-RELEASE so you might not encounter problems I did.
firstly login to your server and we will just install cpanel straight away.
mkdir /home/cpins
cd /home/cpins
wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest
sh latest
This will take awhile so go grab a coffee. This will install everything for cPanel.
Once this is complete, go to WHM
http://yourip/whm
and login with username root and your root password. Now you will be prompted with the WHM setup screen. This is really simple, just follow the onscreen instructions to setup whm. This will setup your server hostname,resolvers,nameservers and so on.
Once this is done, you have done it. You have installed cPanel, but don't get your hopes up just yet. No doubt there will be bugs, you are best to search google but I will go over what ones I encounter. If I do that is.
So straight off I am going to go test the account creation, go to Create A New Account in WHM, and input any domain you want, for my example I just put google.com. After I hit created it created the account but returned a bind error. So we have to fix this first ....

CentOS 5, CPanel 11, Kernel Buggy
Nov 18, 2007(The box, 2 years now, never had issues before all you will read...)
I do have a box at the IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, which on 15th Nov. was: AMD 4200+
with 300 GB hdd for OS, and CentOS 4.5 on it...
Because the system was facing few load problems of wrong installed applications, we decided to do a fresh OS reload to the latest OS version and
cPanel.
on 16th Nov, the box was up and running with CentOS 5, and cPanel 11.
the kernel is: 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5
After few hrs the box was done and IO restored all backups in it anbd all worked fine, I realized that I couldnt access cPanel, page was blank for
everything.
Also, most pages (except simple html) where showing internal error 500.
I did a reboot. probelm was fixed.
After few hrs, problem came up again...
I left ssh logged in to see whats wrong.
I found out that every few hrs, that issue was happening:
Message from syslogd@server at Sun Nov 16 11:47:21 2007 ...
server kernel: journal commit I/O error
Then, we had techs to check HDD for errors. they did fsck, and said disk has to be replaced (at this point, without wanting to offend anyone, I have to state that 90% of techs in datacenters, or at least at mine --won't name them, 99% you guess which DC it is...-- are just low paid students that don't know SIMPLE things...) so we told them to replace the HDD and do OS reload in new drive...
So, on 17th Nov. we had online a new HDD, 400 GB with CentOS 5 loaded in it, and cPanel 11...
After few hrs and all working and backups recovered, the issue came up again!
This time, with exactly same error, techs told us it may be RAM, so they replaced the RAM and we waited...
In 2,5 hrs, bang, it happens again, same error.
They say, it might be the sata cable...
we replace it...
AGAIN ERROR.
we ask them to loook at it seriously, and after lot pressure, to avoid case that mo/bo or controller is wrong, they do upgrade us in a BRAND NEW colocated box, which was this time: Intel Core 2 DUO, 6300, with brand new 500 GB HDD and new RAM.
We recover in the new box the backups.
Box is online today at 18th Nov...
and the issue comes up again!
Message from syslogd@server at Sun Nov 18 11:47:21 2007 ...
server kernel: journal commit I/O error
I ask them what the **** is going on now and why after having all hardware replaced with new, and all OS reinstalled clean on new drives and new devices, 3 times, why we have again the same error...
And their response: power cable was loose, we replaced power cable...
Guys, sorry, this is really DUMP... loose cable cannot give that error...
and the error... continues!
Also, at this point, I have to let you know, that when this error comes up, (Message from syslogd@server at Sun Nov 18 11:47:21 2007 ...
server kernel: journal commit I/O error) the filesystem becomes READ-ONLY and
nothing gets affected, if we do a cold reboot by reset button, it comes up
again and all work PERFECT, until the issue comes back again.....
I am desperate with that, let me know what I have to do!
