I'm setting up a server in the next few weeks that will be located remotely (next town from here) and will be accessible 24x7 only with a fair amount of inconvenience and wasted time (find my key card to the co-location room, then drive 30-45 minutes each way and go through normal level of difficulty finding someplace to park, etc.). The server will serve web, FTP, SSH, Subversion (via svn+ssh protocol), and a contacts manager database called Turba running on Horde, both of which are PHP applications that run via Apache HTTPD. Platform will be 1.8-GHz P4 with 512 MB RAM. Internet connection will be via a multi-megabyte backbone (don't know exactly how fast but it's pretty fast). Security is a major consideration and so I'd like to run on the "most current" version of Fedora, i.e. F7, so that security issues can be kept up to date. Is Fedora 7 "ready" for this or am I asking for trouble? For the record, I have had no problems ... so far ... with F7 on VMware.
Just a thought. Have you looked into CentOS 5? -Mauriat
