Question Fc5


Is FC5 stable? does it have mysql 5 and php 5 with fulfilling all dependencies to work on both?? And does it have any bandwidth throttoling for apache? What is the major improvement of it except the kernal?

depends what stable means to you. fedora is a developement distribution. it's sole point of existing is to make mistakes and test stuff so that redhat don't have to do it themselves in a commerical environment. from that perspective fedora is *never* stable.

redhat 8 was awful. it was so bad there was never even an 8.1 release, they just went straight to 9 to escape it.

I hapen to be typeing this responce on a machine which runs fc6 zod just fine and dandy. I have nothing but praise to bestowe upon red had and the fedora core team. I think read hat hasa much better understanding of what the term open sorucce means than Novel who owns Suse. In fact, I would highly recommend redhat Fedora Core to any body who asked me which distibution to use.

there is a time and place for fedora, and the enterprise is not it. blindly recommending a single distribution across the board is dangerous. fedora is a developement distribution. it's *meant* to not work...

If you want stable and free, have a look at centos, that's what it claims to be.
I'm only a home user so can't be of much use to you, but others speak highly of it.

so;... CentOS, *IF* you wish to have something as similar to Fedora as possible without a charge, but there are other alternatives. recommending distributions should not disintegrate into a popularity contest, and i'm recommending CentOS here due to it's extremely close relationship to Fedora. other server OS's are available...

Thanks... and if i need to use fedora, then in which version i can get it with mysql 5 and php5??
Is debian good for DNS?? or best?? I found RH's bind9 has a major problem with RNDC. And i tried to solve it but finally someone here told me that it is a bug of it. So Debian is good?? and free from RNDC bug???

you don't *need* to use fedora. if you still decide to though, go the the latest and greatest naturally.

debian can't be "good for DNS" BIND is just a service, it'll run fine on any distro. no knowledge about bind9 on redhat, just recompile it i'd assume.
