I'm coming from the Fedora arena and I want to build, what I would call, a production server. I'm to the point where I don't want to upgrade every 6-months. I'm running Oracle DB 11g, a Tomcat/JBoss hybrid application server, and several other server type functions.
Is there an example of building a server that boots into init3?
A) install CentOS 5 minimal or base, configure as needed. update to current patches with...
yum -y update
B) use yum install XXXX to install any other tools you need as you go. I almost always install...
yum -y install sysstat ; server IO performance tools like iostat, sar yum -y group-install "Development Tools" ; if you need to compile anything w/ gcc etc yum -y erase gcc-java ; horrible gcj should be burned but its dragged in with development-tools
but your mileage may vary.
C) edit /etc/inittab and insure the first non-comment line reads...
id:3:initdefault:
(the '3' is the boot init level)
done.
