latest release of SentOs - nothing consistant but may be worth looking at
before taking the plunge.

Have you thought about how the servers will be administered/backed up?
Are those programs in the Ubuntu repos?

If you're looking for reliability and stability, what about going back to
source distros for both your choices ie Debion or REl?

Subject: [ubuntu-uk] Server OS Suggestion


Hi people,

I've been wrestling with this question for a while now, and although
product suggestion is probably going to be skewed here, I'm really
interested in what you have to say.

I need to choose a server operating system to run LAMP intranet web
services with little maintenance and at high reliability. This system
will be installed in multiple locations, so the last thing I want to
be doing is a shed load of ongoing administration, or dealing with
unnecessary problems.

I've pretty much narrowed the selection down to CentOS 5 and Ubuntu Hardy
LTS.

If anyone has any suggestions, pros or cons for either systems I'd
love to hear them.

Chris
