    *nix server versions

    Hello all,

    We currently use mostly win servers and a few nix servers like redhat ES and mandrake 3.0. I was intrested to see what versions of nix most of you use for your servers and dedicated server clients.

    How is FreeBSD going for you? That is one of the routes that we would like to take, I have two admins that keep pushing me in that direction. They say it's a solid platform.

    Thanks for the replies...

    I've been using SuSE on various machines for years now. Never had a problem with it - rock solid. Although early versions were a bit of a fiddle to install and setup, the newer versions (such as 9.2) are very slick and professional.

    We have used FreeBSD almost exclusively for years. It is a solid platform, and easy to maintain. Once you set up a FreeBSD server, you can leave it alone for years, except for perhaps upgrading Apache/PHP/MySQL as needed.

    I can say that FreeBSD works fine, but plesk is a little picky

    We are thinking of trying out H-sphere with FreeBSD and just run the CP on RedHat or CentOS. I have never been very impressed with Plesk CP.

    FreeBSD are solid compared to the linux variants, DirectAdmin is the GUI program that most of us use to manage it.

    We recently finished standardizing a prominent Australian host to RHEL3/CentOS installations across the board.

    I think you'll find RHEL has a fair bit of weight behind it.
