Paul, Wait a while, and then CENTOS 6 (or not wait a while). In my opinion neither of your choices are as stable as CENTOS. The big drawback is that CENTOS does not have the latest gadgets - but gadgets and stability are mutually exclusive, by definition. I have lately been annoyed because I obtained a program that needs C-libraries that are not available in CENTOS5, so I can appreciate your thinking, but I am not planning on moving away from CENTOS. It is completely maintenance-free nothing ever crashes and all standard programs work on it.
Uh-oh, I think I just heard a breaking-sound in the computer room. :-) Mark -----Original Message----- From: Paul Kraft <[email protected]> To: CCP4BB <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Dec 21, 2011 1:29 pm Subject: [ccp4bb] linux upgrade preferences for CCP4 hello, I'm considering upgrading my linux software from CENTOS5 to perhaps Fedora or UBUNTO. Does anyone have an opinion about the best linux version to upgrade to for not only CCP4 but also for general robustness and for the best standard apps..Thanks Paul Dr. Paul Kraft Structural Biologist cell 586-596-2770 email: [email protected] email: [email protected] This communication and any attachments contain information which is confidential and may also be privileged.
