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.
How ready is ready enough? Imho, Fedora has come quite a long way. I'd
expect there would still be some glitches. But it's already over a week
since Fedora 7 is out, if you run into any problems, it is likely you
would find some useful information through Google.
