- Books, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8Dude, howtoforge.com is one of the most helpful places for *nix people. So just let it go.
- aaronm67, on 11/12/2007, -3/+7You probably shouldn't be installing Fedora on any server. Fedora releases are only supported for 1 year, compared to Debian (2-3 years), RHEL/CentOS (7+ years), SUSE (5+ years). Fedora isn't really meant as a server distro.
- narkee, on 11/10/2007, -1/+4Are there Fedora 8 cheat codes posted somewhere too?
- vonskippy, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2Meh. Falko spam.
- reverendbws, on 11/12/2007, -1/+3Humm.. There are a few things wrong with this article from a security standpoint (e.g. lack of in-depth php, apache and iptables tweaks) but replacing vsftpd with proftpd?! That takes the cake. Do some research before you run off and follow random how-to's such as this, please!
- golgotha, on 11/12/2007, -1/+3Are you joking? I run an entire ISP and datacenter on nothing but Fedora boxes and have been for the last 4 years. What kind of experience do you have?
http://www.winlink.ru (every box is Fedora) - EXreaction, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Hell yes, doing this was exactly my plans.
Last time I tried, I couldn't get FTP to work, so hopefully this will help me get it working. :D - schnizitz, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, you run a whole ISP on Fedora boxes? I'm so very impressed. You must really like Fedora to put yourself in a position where you have to spend the extra time to remove Xorg and go through and completely upgrade all of your systems every time there's a new release. I guess your set up is the reason there's any debate over system management TCO comparisons between Linux and Windows servers.
Or do you just say screw it and leave Xorg on there and just let your old FC1 (which was released 4 years ago) boxes chug along hoping for the best?
I feel sorry for your customers. Myself, I'll stick to Gentoo or (every blue moon) CentOS on my servers, thank you.
Not that I don't like Fedora, I happen to think it's the best distro out there for a desktop. - aaronm67, on 11/12/2007, -2/+3Running Fedora you either reinstall the OS every year or use an unsupported OS. Try one of the above distros, it wont be nearly as much trouble.
- homey007, on 11/10/2007, -0/+1Thanks for the guide. This would definitely be useful when I setup my next Linux Server.
- golgotha, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0The company was started on one of the early Fedora's, but our customer base has been growing and growing. I am finding that as I distribute more and more services for better optimization, newer Fedora's are installed while the older boxes get wiped.
The only problems I had so far are throughput problems. When we first started, we didn't have a lot of money for big cisco hardware, so I decided to use several linux boxes with 3-5 nics inside (gigabit). Once traffic was getting up into the 4-5 gigabit range, the kernel started chugging with interrupt problems (even with custom kernel configs and specially written IBM drivers). However, by then we were making enough cash to splurge on the expensive routing hardware.
However, all applications are being served on a number of boxes running Fedora (4 or higher). - selrahc, on 11/09/2007, -4/+3It's still there. We just have more options now.
- vade79, on 11/09/2007, -3/+1These distribution-specific howto's seem pointless to me. It's all the same packages used on every distribution, just a different package maintainer. ie, Ubuntu's could easily apply the same:
# aptitude install apache2
(..everything from here on is the same for other distributions as far as configuration) - trghpy, on 11/09/2007, -6/+4Linux?
Images?
What happened to the console we all knew and loved??? - jamesatdigg, on 11/09/2007, -16/+2one more copy and past from old article stop this hell man you want trffic to your website
