I currently run a dedicated with redhat 9 and am looking at a new server with either Fedora Core, CentOS, or FreeBSD.
I'd like your opinions on the best o/s to go with overall and also bearing in mind I'm coming from redhat and will be running cpanel on it...
I 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.
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.

how to get Ubuntu working on a CentOS / Fedora Core XEN server?
Gazzin.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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere's bloody heaps of them. Which one do I go for on my two new file servers? Which operating system out of these is the most common, has the most support, is most compatible? The server will be used to host videos and will run c-panel. A light weight OS is probably preferred but I really have no idea. And incase it helps, the servers have 512mb of ram, about 30 - 40GB of hDD (not actually sure) and an old AMD Duron.
CentOS
Debian
Direct Admin
Fedora
FreeBSD
Gentoo LiveCD
Redhat
Slackware
I have always used debian on my virtual machine but was just curious as to what OS people use for their hosting?
The company I am looking at moving to for hosting offer the following options:
* Debian
* Ubuntu Server
* Open Suse
* Free BSD
* Fedora Core
* CentOS
* Gentoo
* Slackware
* Windows 2003 Basic
* Windows 2003 Pro
I have heard from a lot of people that Freebsd is good for hosting but just wondering what your views are
to get a dedicated sql server 2005 box and am not sure the best operating system. These are my choices:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - 32 bit
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - 64 bit
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise - 32 bit
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise - 64 bit
This is the server I'm thinking of getting -
Dual Woodcrest Series - SATA Dual Intel Woodcrest 5130 Dual Core Processors 2 x 500GB Hard Drive 4096 MB RAM
Currently, I have my IIS web server and sql server 2005 on the same machine and it's just too bogged down. That one runs windows 2003 standard 32 bit on a Dual Xeon 2.8GHz Processor 2 x 80GB Hard Drive 4096 MB RAM
For all of you who are ordering / have ordered VPS systems, what do you think about having Windows vs Linux available from your provider?

One thing I'm terrible at is System Administration, but I'm getting better and my first step is to pick a reliable operating system for both the webservers and the database servers. Would anyone be willing to answer the following questions or point me to a thread that already discusses these?
A little background, our site has 200k members, 30k active and is growing by about 5k a week. We still run MySQL 4.0.27 on the DB servers and they are running FC2. The webservers are Apache 1.3.37 and PHP 4.4.2 running FC2 and FC4 as well.
My questions
1. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the web servers? and a
"few" reasons why?
2. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the database servers?
and a "few" reasons why?
I have a Fedora Core 5 VPS currently running PHP 5.1.6, and wish to upgrade to 5.2 so I can run Magento eCommerce software.
I've managed to install yum, and after running yum update php, it just updates to 5.1.x still
My understanding of it currently is I need to point it to new repositories with 5.2 in?

I have a server running Fedora 4 and WHM/cPanel. I would like to upgrade the linux kernel to the latest version, so mosey in via SSH and type "yum -y upgrade". It downloads a few things and tells me everything is hunky dory.
Now, the version it says it is currently running is: 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:41:14 EDT 2006
Is that the really the newest version available? Maybe I'm confused as to how this works, but if I go to kernel.org it tells me the most recent stable version of the kernel is 2.6.24.3. Is this because I am running FC4?
I am doing a FRESH install of Fedora Core 6 onto a brand new server. I have 2 questions about partitions on there..
1. Should all the partitions (/home, /backup, /var etc..) be of file system type "ext3?" I could not find any documentation on this anywhere.
2. A question about about LVM (Logical Volume Management). Are you supposed to create a different LVM for each partition? Or just for /tmp?

Fedora 9 vs Centos 5? which is good for running a server? Is both more or less the same?
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy 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?
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.
anyone has tested FreeBSD on a IBM System x3250?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
which is better for cPanel and more quality?
centOS
freeBSD?
*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?
