Ubuntu Server Edition Compared To CentOS
Aug 23, 2008
I asked this question before in the past and I still have to ask it: has anyone used both Ubuntu Server Edition and CentOS? I would like to compare both operating system, in terms of speed, performance, security, and stability.
I have decided to build my new server and use Ubuntu Server Edition 64-bit operating system after using CentOS 64-bit operating system for a bit over a year now.
The reason why I have chosen to use Ubuntu Server Edition is because of the operating system's fabulous reputation among desktop PC users, and its large and helpful support community.
Support is what I need most, and Ubuntu seems to have it. I also am not the best with Linux yet, so it will definitely be needed. Ubuntu also seems to update its software faster than other operating systems.
I hope my decision to switch from CentOS 64-bit to Ubuntu Server Edition 64-bit will not be in vain.
Can anyone compare these two 64-bit operating systems and possibly link me to some reviews, comparisons, and/or benchmark results?

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.
Quote:
xm create anya_zanet
Using config file "/etc/xen/anya_zanet".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found
')
This is the xen configuration:
Code:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img"
builder='linux'
memory = 256
name = "anya_zanet"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/System/anya_zanet,hda1,w' , 'phy:/dev/System/anya_zanet,hda2,w' ]
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
how to get Ubuntu working on a CentOS / Fedora Core XEN server?

I've always used CentOS for my servers. But now there's this Ubuntu thing taking off!
Is Ubuntu taking off on the server side as well or is Rhat still king?
Is there a site where I can get % numbers for which distros are most popular (on servers, not desktop)?
(This is as a customer/admin not a hosting provider).

I have some questions about Windows 2003. I have tested many different Windows VPS hosts and I have noticed that some of them offers Windows 2003 enterprise edition and some offers Datacenter edition. What is the difference between the two?
I remember that godaddy had datacenter ed and the vps I use now (eukhost) is using enterprise edition.

I would imagine there's a source for this but google's not yielding much. I'm looking for a CD/DVD ISO that will essentially auto install and configure a linux box with at least SSH access so I can manually install the rest.
I know bluequartz does this, put the CD and the install auto configures pretty much everything. Where would one find one click install discs for either CentOS or debian/ubuntu?

I've been working on a large online browser game for the last year on and off - it's due to open for beta in Oct. This game is coded in PHP/AJAX with MySQL. It's quite heavy on different graphics with characters, items, illustrations etc. It will also have a selection of Flash games to play. Similar gaming sites have more than 1000 users online in peak hours and we estimate that and more within the first 3-5 months of opening.
I want to open my site on a Windows Server as I'm a lot more familiar with Windows (Having an MCP for Windows Server 2003). I am unsure however what edition to go with. At first I thought Windows Server 2003 Web Edition (Being a website!), but this only supports up to 2gb of ram I believe? and may prove to be an issue if we need to upgrade due to the high demand of online users.
I understand I can have more than one server, but would you recommend another edition?

I have a dedicated server running windows web edition. What is the easiest way to set up a VPN server on this machine so that I can log in to it from my home connection and route all my traffic through my server.
I've found a few guides for setting this up on linux boxes, but not with windows.

way to create a VPN tunnel between two ubuntu servers?
Both will be in seperate datacentres but I'd like a secure tunnel so I can setup jobs to backup to one another.
This has to be done on the server level and cannot be done at the router/firewall as I do not have access to this kit.

I've just ordered a dedicated server with Ubuntu server, but they've come back to me to say that they've had trouble installing Ubuntu server on these particular servers.
As an alternative, they're offering to install Debian. My concern is that I come from a windows background and have spent the last month reading and playing with Ubuntu Server in vmware. I'll be running a small handful of sites on the server and will rely on the apt-get and package installer in webmin to get things set up and for administration. I'll dabble in the shell a little, but only when needed.
Should I go with a different host that can offer Ubuntu, or will I be okay with Debian?

The past week I've been trying to answer the hardest question. I'm an expert windows user and a Novice Linux user.
I have a server built and ready for an operating system, this will be a development server for database and web development. It will also likely turn into an encrypted file server as well.
I do not plan on doing much else other then that.
Is it worth it to struggle through and learn the Linux command line or should I go for Windows Server something I am more familiar with?
I've considered VMware although I have "Fake Raid" and ESXi does not see my Raid-1 setup.

I have a Ubuntu 6 LTS server, and so far i have installed and got working:
Apache, PHP5, SQL5
but now i come to EXIM, its installed, and i have installed Solid Pop3d as a pop server - it was in the repository, but now i dont know what to do.
The server exists as a subdomain of another, until its ready for me to move onto. There are no control panels, i wanted to do it all with SSH.
Does anyone know how to set it up so i can connect with a mail client, and how to setup accounts?

I am trying to transfer Plesk 12.0.18#34 from an Ubuntu 12 server to an Ubuntu 14 server.
Using the transfer manager, I got these warnings:
The following Apache modules are not installed on the destination server: authz_default. Please install and enable these modules to prevent possible problems. The following Apache modules are disabled on the destination server: roxy_http,proxy_html,proxy,authz_groupfile,reqtimeout. Please enable these modules to prevent possible problems. The php_version 5.3 is not available on the destination server. Instead, Plesk will use the following version: 5.5. To use the same php_version as on the source server, you should turn on or install it on the destination server. 3 domain(s) will be affected.​
I am a bit puzzled by the authz_default warning as it is not supported anymore on Apache 2.4.
If I override and launch the transfer, I get these errors:
PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object; File: /opt/psa/admin/plib/backup/Conflicts/PleskDataManager.php, Line: 173
PHP Notice: Undefined index: xx.xx.xxx.202 [IP of old server]; File: /opt/psa/admin/plib/backup/Conflicts/PleskDataManager.php, Line: 180

I was wondering if anyone know how the anon edition is suppose to look? Is it just like a regular edition? From what I read, it is an honor system where you trust the client not to break the license. Am I wrong here? Would there be anything built in to prevent a client from running authenticated softwares? built into the OS itself?

Posted this as an add-on to another question I had in the Tech forum, had no reply, perhaps I posted in the wrong forum. Posting here instead:
I noticed MS has lifted some of the restriction concerning the Web Server edition, it's like half the price of Standard.
I'm mainly going to be hosting a couple of separate web sites, run ASP.Net and PHP, along with some database servers (currently considering SQL Server Express and MySQL).
Email server is being considered, though our load isn't too great, it's just for a couple of friends and myself. We're also intending to run game servers off it (Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty series, etc.) on occasions.
Would the Web Server edition suffice for these? Or is it still technically limited/has license restrictions, and I will need at least the standard edition?
I may also intend to serve streaming windows Media files.

how to adjust the mailbox sizes.
i imported ~15 email account during a cPanel migration/transfer done with the manager. mails are there but mailboxes, that had an unlimited quota, are now set to 350MB.
i tried a bunch of stuff, from searching the whole webinterface, changing db entries up to postfix main.cf.
i'm just restoring yesterdays backup. i already lost hours, and now am loosing nerves ..
where can I find this setting, or how can i set it in the DB (chancing max_box and mbox_size did not work, changes in the mail table were reflected on the UI, but not for postifx ..) ?
