A. If I were you, I would choose CentOS 5 (64-bit) and here's why:
1) 99% of providers / Web hosts support CentOS so your provider will have plenty of on-site staff that knows CentOS in and out.
2) CentOS is the free version of Red Hat, the first commercial Linux distribution in the world. You gain production stability and reliability. It doesn't have any experimental software like Ubuntu for instance (I love Ubuntu and I run it on my desktop but I don't put it on my production servers).
3) You'll find plenty of help from online communities (google). Almost all issues that you will encounter with the OS have already been solved and reported online. Just copy/paste the error on google and you'll be on your way.
4) CentOS (which is Red Hat literally) goes through rigorous testing so you'll be sure your server will not crash under high loads / vists. It's a SERVER OS after all!
By the way, my name is Joe and I help run two Web hosting firms (see the footer if you're interested). A large majority of our servers run CentOS and it's rock solid in all aspects. I highly recommend it.

Hard drive problem installing red hat linux enterprise 4 on dell precision 690?
Q. I have a dell precision 690 desktop. I put drivers and everything on a hard drive and got files and everything set up. However i out it in my dell precision 690 and it wont install. It says it can't find a hard drive even though it is connected properly. It asks for drivers which i cannot find. I have searched on dell.com and still got nothing.
When i ignore the message and continue installing. it gets to the part where i choose manually partition with disk druid and an error message comes up telling me that there is nothing i can format or something similar.
any ideas?
To vivek g,
No, I had linux on there last time.

A. This has no connection between Linux partition or windows partition. It is just that its not detecting the hardware part perhaps. We need to investigate on the same. This has been a reluctant issue. We need to watch the steps first. Have a look at dell downloads for RHEL4 for your system and install it.
Let me know if it helps.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Oracle Enterprise Linux?
Q. I'm looking to dedicate a PowerEdge 2850 as an eCommerce web server and have been back and forth between which two operating systems I want to run it on.
Support is not an issue since this is a SOHO network environment and I'm very comfortable with linux, compiling, etc. I was originally going to install RHEL 6.2 as I've been familiar with Red Hat in the past. But I also had a look at Oracles Linux, and its 6.2 version looks pretty impressive.

You get your management tools right away, claims of higher performance (is this just within the Oracle stack or the actual unbreakable kernel itself?) and dual kernels (one that can update itself without rebooting). The latter being the most impressive to me, real time updates without the need of compiling.
I've heard mixed reviews, but the bad reviews against Oracle Linux seem to be more about disgruntled Red Hat users feeling threatened by Oracle and how they approached their Linux OS.
Is Oracle Linux even worth a LAMP installation, or shall I give Oracle DB a go for Magento eCommerce framework? A lot of questions about this OS, not too many answers (other than Oracles brilliant marketing team).
Any chance of expanding on this John? Other than support, what does Oracle tend to charge for that Red Hat doesn't?

A. Oracle is a fork of the Red Hat distro. They have some nice tools, but remember, Larry does very little for free just because he is a nice guy.
The fact is he wants to lock you in, with his own customized OS
Unless you love giving money to Larry, stay with Red Hat
