I'm trying to install the latest version of otrs and I have a choice of whichever distro I like. I am familiar with CentOS 5 and Debian Etch.
However, looking at the OTRS website I see I can choose Suse as well, so I am trying to decide which one will be better in terms of support or maintenance?
Just choose whatever you're most comfortable with. Debian probably has the advantage of having OTRS packaged in the standard repositories. I happen to like CentOS myself, so I just get the new rpm every time a new OTRS version is released.
I have been told that for CentOS 5 I need to install the Fedora version, is this correct?
You should be able to use the Fedora Core 4-6 rpm on CentOS 5. We use the Fedora Core 1-3 rpm on CentOS 4. And of course the .tar.gz version should work on all Linux distributions. Nils Breunese.
