That is something I've been wondering... I originally decided on RedHat
because it is a very common distro.
I was, until just very recently, unaware that they were pulling the plug on
it.

Debian is a distro I've been looking at.
I also do like Mandrake, which I am currently using on another...

  Just a question for those of you running CF on RH 7/8/9....What are you
  doing (if these are production servers) to deal with the End-Of-Life of
  these products?  We're confronting this right now, although not for CF.
Any
  opinions on this would be appreciated.

    Hello Ryan,

    I've been learning Linux on and off for the last year... I have 2
systems
    here that I have set up.

    Mandrake 9.0 with Apache 1.3.26, BlueDragon 3.0.2 (Free version), MySQL
    3.xx, and BIND 9.2, it was a learning curb to set up, this was my first
  set
    up attemp, but after learning how to set it up (by just doing it) and
    countless web ressources this little server is very stable.

    My new system is RedHat 9, Apache 2.0.48, MySQL 3.xx, Bind 9.2.1 and
CFMX
    6.1. I took my time to install this, had a hard time finding drivers for
  my
    NIC... after the install I noticed I made a mistake in the config, so
the
    next day I reinstalled the system completly, in a couple of hours, I was
  up
    with no problems.

    So far this system is running very well also, it still hasn't had alot
of
    work, but it looks good so far.

      Hi all,

      I'm a long time CF on Windows user who's thinking of dabbling with
      Linux as a possible future server platform.

      While my Cold Fusion skills are quite high, I'm a pretty basic Linux
      user. I can set up a box and know my way around the file system , but
      have never had to configure a web server from scratch.

      How does the CF install experience compare to that of Windows? Am I
      looking at hours of fiddling around with config files and pulling my
      hair out? Or will I be leaning back in my chair sipping daiquiris and
      pressing the 'y' key every now and then?

      The target platform I'm looking at if RedHat 7.3, running Tomcat. A
      client has specifically requested this config.. is it sensible? I've
      noticed that Tomcat isn't officially supported by MM, though they have
      a few technotes on the install process.

      Thanks, bye!
