My impression is that Ubuntu is the most common one, maybe because this is well documented: - Christian's continually updated install guide: http://cjohansen.no/en/ruby/setting_up_gitorious_on_your_own_server - Rodrigo's chef recipes: http://rosenfeld.heroku.com/en/articles/2011-03-06-installing-gitorious-has-never-been-so-easy (Others will fill in more here, I'm sure) There are various efforts in packaging Gitorious for different distributions; I think there are packages for Arch Linux and OpenSUSE. One thing to consider is that you will need to keep Gitorious updated and patched once you've set it up, and this is easier if you know the distribution you're using to run it on. A FreeBSD expert will probably prefer FreeBSD on his server, others will recommend Centos. You should consider both aspects: - ease of installation - your ability to keep supporting your installation down the road Cheers, - Marius -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
