Some RHEL 6 variant. (CentOS, Scientific Linux, etc)
For OpenVZ I'd say CentOS, Debian, Scientific Linux, and Ubuntu. If KVM/Xen, the same as OpenVZ + Arch Linux and FreeBSD.
Thanks
I hadn't used SL myself yet, but it looks good. The question was mainly related to KVM/Xen as I don't use OpenVZ myself.
ubuntu 10.04 LTS or 11.10
debian 6 (NO 5)
sci linux
Have to admit that I'm just looking for Debian 6 32bit now.
FreeBSD would be great but it's not expected.
FTW! The king of the distros :P
@drmike, curious, why specifically 32 bit?
Most LEBs don't have enough RAM to need a 64 bit OS and32 bit usually uses less RAM.
@dmmcintyre3 Ah, right, yeah, that makes total sense
Debian 6. I don't need more
Not all templates are created equal- Some are pure crap, other are good. Among the best i put KuJoe's SecureDragon templates. I use Debian 6 (squeeze), prefer minimal templates, but often i have to fix things (resolver, sources list, and many other things) even to be able to apt-get update and upgrade.
so Debian 6 using a good template.
Latest stable version of Debian, as minimal as it can be made!
Totally over RHEL family of distributions.
We're offering the usual few, plus a few that are a bit more obscure, like owl, arch, and slack.
Here's a listing of our templates by usage: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As32z-WPfC-odExMYjctdEFDbDdkcExSWmlOYnVBRUE
As you can see, SuSE gets no love nowadays
Pretty much. We had a long thread on this on one of the older forums.
I just remove everything afterwards.
I don't feel good about a provider when there isn't much of 32bit distros, and most of what they offer is being in 64 bit. And the most important OSes for me, is if they have Debian 5, Ubuntu 10 , and Centos 5 , and I mean the least for each OS, more distros doesn't hurt I guess.
Debian, any version.
Thanks, some good info here
I think I'll focus some more of my time back on Debian
For LEB demographic it's basically debian/ubuntu MINIMAL 32bit and occasionally scientific linux, freebsd.
For cPanel/etc "normal people" it's centos/scientific linux either bit from what Ive seen
The one I want to use
Debian 6 Minimal... only 34MB used up. Win. Yes 32-bit too.
Slackware Minimal only 34 mb used. Also 32 bit.
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 238 34 204 0 5 12 -/+ buffers/cache: 15 223 Swap: 676 0 676And how much HDD this uses?
I can get a full LNMP with less than 350MB (Openvz)
Just the base is anywhere from 170mb to 200mb. Depends on who installs it, and what version it is. The reason for the difference is some people don't include things like wget. network-tools, slackpkg, etc..... I do because you will definitely need some of them. You can't update Slack without slackpkg and it's dependencies so it makes sense to install it.
I would have to experiment and get back to you on the LNMP as I have not done it yet myself. Probably will not have the time to until after Christmas now lol.
I don't have an Openvz vps either. This is KVM.
Debian and Centos... any comments? what jobs you cant do with these two?
Wash windows
Do your laundry
Mow your lawn
Trim the hedges.
On a serious note, I have Debian installed on the netbook and I had issues installing stuff. Not any problems with the procedure but with on what repo server the packages were found on. Any package that doesn't fall into line with their "free" philosophy and gets shoved off onto a different server.
Not complaining about it. Just wasn't aware of how things were setup when I started with it as they don't seem to make much notice about it. Found things out when I couldn;t find vlc on their repo server and went google'ing.
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
This.
Debian-kFreeBSD
I like all the CentOS / Ubuntu / Debain / Suse OS Versions to be available and a few prebuilt templates such as gnome, cpanel, webmin.
Wow, new stuff for me, sounds interesting, there are isos or something to install? I guess :P
@yomero you can find ISOs on Debian's website. It is basically just the standard Debian just with the FreeBSD kernel instead of the linux kernel. Kinda like FreeBSD with GNU system utilities and with the apt package manager instead of the ports system.
