However now that I looked into CentOS, I find myself at a point where it's transitting to a major new version. So the key question for me is, should I wait for CentOS 5 to be released or just go for 4.4?
I, for one, won't be migrating or installing new servers with CentOS 5 for a while yet. I'll be probably only doing tests and adapting script and procedures during the next 1 or 2 months.
Jumping to a new version on a prodution server right after it is released is a bit too risky for my tastes.
- RAID : Was planning to run "hardware" RAID 1 on the server and has noted
comments that software RAID 1 on Linux may be better than raid 1 using onboard firmware controllers.
3ware :)
- Software that would be running on the server would include Apache 2.x with
ASPx support, php 5.x, MySQL 5.x, Exim, ProFTPD, Direct Admin (supposed to be developed on RH and one user apparently tested it to work right out of the box with 5 Beta, part of the reason why I decided to go with CentOS)
If you want php 5.x and MySQL 5.x, you definitively should wait for CentOS 5.
- Network bandwidth control based on request IP or domains (i.e. connections
to IP #1 can be limited to 512Kbps, while connections to IP #2 can be limited to 1024Kbps, or connections to www.domainA.com is limited to 256Kbps etc.
As far as I'm concerned, this kind of thing should be no different in either of the 2 versions.
