If you're going to try Rivendell out for the first time, as a toy, or as a deployment candidate for your facility, I have one really strong suggestion to make to you:
Even if you have a compelling reason to want to deploy it on the Linux you're most familiar with, or that someone has recommended... do your very first installation on The OS Fred Uses, whatever that is at the time. If you're new, you're guaranteed to have some problems, and they can come from one of three places: 1) I'm not familiar with Rivendell yet 2) Rivendell has problems on this particular distribution 3) Rivendell has bugs Fred's pretty good at eliminating 3), and you can't really do much about 1) on your first trip out... but 2) is pretty easy to eliminate, and why not? Once you have it running, and you understand it a little better, then you can do your production install on the distro you like, and at least you will be able to distinguish between problems caused by those three sources a bit better. Plus, it's easier to get support for your questions in the first round if you're running What Fred Runs. (I say it that was cause I forget what it is these days.. :-) And you really shouldn't be planning to promote your first install to production anyway, so who cares what Linux it's on? :-) This is a recording.
