Yeah I have gone through the list of Operating Systems on the Wiki. But I was looking for more specific info on "What makes a good Linux server".

Server will only be running Asterisk / MySQL / Apache / PHP but nothing else. I have only tested Asterisk on SLES 8.1 however I do have experience with RedHat 9 as well. However SLES 8 = �599 ex vat and with so many free Linux OS's out there I am tempted to deploy something else on customer sites. RedHat 9 is no longer available so although I probably have CD's somewhere I assume that I cannot actually legally install this now for NEW installs???? I dont think I will get any value from support contracts so if there is anyone out there that has done some customer / 3rd party deployments could you offer some advice on what you have used and why? Also is there really any difference between using a Standard / Enterprise or Destop SUSE (Will never require more than two CPUs). Does SLES 8 bring �599 worth of enhancements to the table over SUSE Desktop or Fedora et al? Is Fedora a good choice? Sorry for the many questions but I am not particularly experienced with Linux to know what the real difference is with the umpteen versions. thanks as always for any advice Alex -------------------------------------------- |Alex Barnes |SQA Engineer |URL : http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com |<http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com/> -------------------------------------------- This email and any attached files are confidential and copyright protected.
