I'm working with RH 8.0 out of the box and it only needed a few minor tweaks
to get php going with everything else (MySQL, etc).
It's my first time around linux, first time building a server and first time
with PHP. I didn't have to build anything from source, just installed
default RPM's.

Re: [PHP] Does PHP run better under any specific unix os?
Your hardware will determine your level of performance and in many cases stability (cheap components like generic ram lower stability and performance) but I've had no problems running PHP under FreeBSD 4 or FreeBSD 5 or Slackware Linux and mostly minor problems running under HP-UX 10/11. Everyone has at least one OS of choice (mine is FreeBSD and then OpenBSD) so you will have to weigh opinions, I would decide what you need your server to do and then take a look at a few operating systems. FreeBSD is an excellent all purpose server, OpenBSD is excellent in high threat environments, Linux is good if that is all your IT supports or you are doing very Linux specific things. All the PHP optimizer/caching programs I've used have support for FreeBSD and Linux so that will not be a limiting factor. Basically get good hardware and your performance with PHP should be good under most operating systems, get bad hardware and it doesn't matter anyway.

Also weigh in which you feel most comfortable in. If you're a DOS hawk, going Linux is said to be easier than BSD ... dunno, never tried BSD, only Linux and BeOS (and you don't really use the command line in BeOS)... But all *nix share the same issue: You need to build the files yourself, from the same source files. So the config is the same nomatter what. Anyways ... I prefer Linux ... but has been a while since I stopped building my own ... they're just too complex these days ... haven't got time to wait ;-) Rene -- Rene Brehmer This message was written on 100% recycled spam.
