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?
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
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?
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 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.
I currently run a dedicated with redhat 9 and am looking at a new server with either Fedora Core, CentOS, or FreeBSD.

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.

We`ve a cPanel webserver, we are going to migrate accounts to another server, So require to decrease TTL of all accounts there, But that is hard to change them one by one.
Do you know how should I decrease all of those TTL`s at the same time with an special command?
Another thing is that, If we dont increase TTL`s after transfer and leave those to be about 300sec, Will that make any issues for us?
And what should a TTL be a large number (standard 86400)?

I'm using a CentOS 5 VPS server inside a VMWare Infrastructure environment. I don't know if that is relevant, but I have the following:
Every night my server with CentOS 5 changes its time back to +1 UTC. Strangely it happens every 0:00.
I've just had a server deployed for one of my private sites which uses "DOCUMENT_ROOT".
At the moment the server thinks the root is "/usr/local/apache/htdocs" instead of "/home/usersaccount/public_html" how can I change this so every account setup points to the correct document_root?

which 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'm running a forum and a few other things on a futurehosting VPS plan which is running centos.
we changed to futurehosting because our shared hosting was definately not coping with it, so we had to make a quick changeover... unfortunately i dont have too much experience with setting up mailservers in linux(which seems to be a massive complicated mess involving a million different services).
i'm wondering if anyone knows any guides to setting up a mail server + have a managable web interface to add user accounts/setup forwarding rules and such that works well with centos?
or better yet, is futurehosting capable of doing it for me

I don't use anything like active directory to manage my windows servers. I just manage them individually.
I need to make a change to terminal services configuration on all of them. I don't want to login to each one and manually edit it.
How the hell can I do this in Windows?
In Linux i could knock up a script in about 5 minutes with expect that would login to every single one and make the change i wanted.
What is the best way to share files/folders between centos/linux servers?

I am having a problem with YUM on Fedora 5, for a long time it has not worked saying there is nothing to update when I know there is, I have tried to correct this by following a forum post of someone having the same problem, now I have really messed things up...
When I type any yum command (yum, yum --version, yum check-update etc) I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 29, in ?
from yum import logginglevels
ImportError: cannot import name logginglevels
perhaps removing it and installing the latest version of Yum would help however tried that and it seems to make no difference, perhaps I am doing it wrong?

We recently setup a server with 4 gigs of RAM and installed Fedora core 7 32-bit version in it. After installing the OS, I have found that Fedora is able to detect only 2 GB and not 4 GB of RAM. I installed the kernel-PAE and kernel-PAE-devel modules and restart the server and made sure that the the OS with the PAE switch starts at boot time. However, the OS still does not detect the 4 GB RAM. Any idea what else can be done apart from installing the 64-bit OS in the system?
