Linux server for colocation


Recommended Posts

Hey, i'm going to be putting a 1u server in a datacentre soon,

Do you have Linux server experience?

I think that just ensuring that you turn off unnecessary services will be a big help. What kind of server? web? mail? ftp?

EDIT: Found thread I was after: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=271716

yeah, I've had a dedicated Linux in the Netherlands for about 9 months now, and its getting to expensive.

will be for web, ftp, email, games etc

ive got fed 9 running on it now, its just ive never set up a server with linux from base before.

what do i configure the lan with?

If you are using Fedora 9, it will be similar, but a pretty big leap as far as version numbers go from say CentOS 5.

Fedora is on a very aggressive release schedule, 2 a year for the most part. RHEL/CentOS is much more relaxed, and is much better suited to a server environment.

That being said, if it is just for personal use, or learning, or general purpose stuff, there is nothing wrong with using Fedora as a server, and I have been doing that since Fedora Core 1.

    • It's a shame an independent org have to rely on some government partner's closed technology, then they don't like something from you, you simply get locked down. 🤡
    • It looks better but needs quite a bit more GPU and CPU horsepower. Still way better performance than raytracing mode on my AMD video card.
    • Yes, because that was years ago. Waymo have been operating a safe consumer facing self-driving service for years now. They're completing 250,000 jobs a week. Interestingly in terms of behavior at junctions there have been some observed variations in self driving cars. Another, smaller company, not at the point of consumer testing yet, have observed that the cars most often tested in busy commercial centers of town are more aggressive with making turns and claiming right of way than the cars most frequently tested in suburban areas. The cars learn they have to claim the opening in traffic
