Personal preference, really. Using CentOS here with MySQL, but we have expertise with both.

Hi Lars, First of all, of course these topics have a very high potential of starting flames, and everyone has it's own opinions. I'm a Fedora user myself, and I like it. I use it on my laptop. Still I would NOT recommend it for use on a production server. This is because only the last two versions of Fedora are supported with security updates, and they generally release new updates about every 6 months. This means you'd have to upgrade your server OS just about every year. This also means you can get a very different Perl version, or Apache version, database version etc. when you do the OS upgrade. Depending on your type of setup you usually don't want this because it can break your setup, cause you do testing of your whole system, and because it's just more hassle than you want. If you deploy a server, usually it's at least for a 4-5 year period before you decommision the machine. That's why I would always recommend also choosing an OS that has an equal life span. In Linux' case this would be RHEL6/CentOS, Ubuntu LTS (meaning 10.04) or similar. This makes sure you can your server operational for a long time without the need of performing a server upgrade because of security issues. Of course, if you really like to be on the bleeding edge, and you have a business reason for that, choosing Fedora on the servers might be a valid choice. Just my € 0.02. -- Mike On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 9:59 AM, Lars Jørgensen wrote:

Hi, please read

Looked at it for fun, and saw this regarding the Fedora distribution:

"Cons: Fedora's priorities tend to lean towards enterprise features, rather than desktop usability"

How can that be a bad thing for a server operating system? It seems that list is biased towards desktop use.

Hi Lars, my goal was, that the user decides for himself and that was the best starting point for a general short overview I had available at that moment :) Regards Alexander -- radprax Gesellschaft fuer Medizinische Versorgungszentren mbH | Domicile and Register Court: Wuppertal, HRB 19359 | Bergstr. 7-9, 42105 Wuppertal Management Board: Andreas Martin, Dr. Heiner Steffens, Dr. Renate Tewaag Phone +49 202 2489 1123, Fax +49 202 2489 941123
