what is the best linux distro in my situation?
Hello, 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? I have been told that for CentOS 5 I need to install the Fedora version, is this correct? Any help appreciated, Khusro

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.

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.
sounds like you know enough.. pick the distro you know best and just follow the source install. you will find that you learn much more about how OTRS works if you go that route. and when you go to customize stuff at least you know where it all is cause you put it there! ive installed on debian, gentoo, osx, solaris, openbsd, freebsd and fedora this way. all except windows. -Andy Lubel -----Original Message----- From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of kerneljack Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 5:31 AM To: otrs@otrs.org Subject: [otrs] what is the best linux distro in my situation?
