The general wisdom from fedora power users is:
- Fedora for the desktop / workstation
- CentOS for the home server or other unsupported server
- RedHat for a serious server or otherwise when support is needed
* by support I mean paid support
Also, SELinux isn't nearly that hard. I wouldn't put a box on the open
internet without SELinux.
Well I guess I was hoping for the best of both worlds by having my
desktop "act" as a server. Why have 2 machines when 1 will do?
Too much to ask, I know.
You can do that, but you have to choose between stability and new
features. Server apps have mostly been feature-complete for years so
you avoid problems with the older app versions included in Centos. If
you are happy with those versions of desktop apps as well (about circa
FC6 in fedora terms) then you are all set. If you want newer desktop
apps, the way development currently works you have to take a new kernel
and associated unstable changes to get them.
