Operating Systems by DA

[suhailc]

Hi,

Given the supported Operating Systems by DA, which one should I use and why?:

Operating System:
Redhat Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0.
RedHat Fedora 1.0, 2.0, 3.0
RedHat Enterprise 2.1, 3.x
FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.3

I'm inclined towars using Fedora, but of the Fedora breed, which version is the most stable and supported?

Regards,
Suhail.

If you decide for Fedora, think about 'Fedora Core 2' go to legacy on April, 11 when FC4 test2 is released.

Out of that list I would suggest FreeBSD, since that is what I used to use and am confortable with.

However, off the list I would suggest Debian which should be officially announced sometime in the near future. Although it's currently Beta at this time, there are haven't been any major bugs with DirectAdmin itself. Most problems occured during installations.

We happily install, support and use CentOS 3.x, and we're soon to move to CentOS 4.

CentOS is an free (as in beer and as in speech) open source compilation of the source code released by Red Hat (even though they've been legally enjoined from telling you that on their website).

See: http://www.centos.org

and then order DA for RHEL 3.x.

Note we have NOT tested CentOS 4 with DirectAdmin; we recommend it only with CentOS 3.3. If you try CentOS 4, you buy and try at your own risk.
