Just curious here.

I’ve always followed the fedora route but became disillusioned with the focus on the desktop rather than the server mode. Of late I’ve moved my servers to Centos. I felt the need for stable systems.

Everyone seems to slate Centos, but to my surprise Anthony recommends Centos 5.2 which is nice to hear. Yes I know it’s not bleeding edge, but I don’t want that.

Any reason why I should not be running Centos with FS? (I do plan on running 64 bit in future though)

Regards,

Repeat the mantra: CentOS is boring and predictable; boring and
predictable is perfect for real-time telephony systems.

None that I can think of unless you have a super cool Linux distro
that none of us have ever heard of.

64 bit OS on 64 bit hardware is a good thing. Smile

Maybe, but just maybe, on CentOS you can have a problem running
skypiax (the skype endpoint/trunk): after a couple days of inactivity
the snd-dummy ALSA driver of CentOS (at least on 32 bit) seems to go
into ininterruptable sleep, causing the Skype clients to go into that
state (the state seen as "D" in top). But I'm not sure about this,
maybe will not be confirmed, needs more investigation. The Jira I
filed for this is: http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/MODSKYPIAX-27

I had very good overall experiences with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy, and
CentOS 5.2. BTW: since roughly one month, when the sqlite assert was
fixed, the build on Windows Vista seems rock solid to me.

Hi guys,

I'm using Bluewhite64 for my Linux Servers. No problems compiling and
using FS, but not funny if you have dependencies problems (no yum or
aptitude available to solve your problems). Really stable and secure
Linux 64 bit distribution. Obviously, as the system administrator, you
have to take care of keeping the system up to date with security
patches and proper configurations.
Regards

Pablo

I've tried FS on ESX, but not cheap. Works good for small
environments. I've never virtualized FS for big or critical systems.

We are considering asking CentOS to make a "FS cut" set of packages ideal for a telephony server with one install choice.

We are using ubuntu 8.04 in Xen(also hosted by ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu
8.10 is not xen friendly) as our testing server. It works well,
however we only use that to test our business logic, not press test at
all.

I wasn't going to say anything, but since somebody already mentioned
ubuntu, I'll add that I'm using Hardy Heron LTS as well. I haven't had
a single issue with that, I think it was a great choice.
