[webmaster_ph]

ahhh...the filipino mentality: ningas kugon

IMHO, resource hungry mga GUI. pwede naman text-mode (CLI). my 2cents thought.

[webmaster_ph]

guys, w/c is better fedora or ubuntu? any other preference?

 

what's your basis/criteria?

agree. but for average users its better to use the desktop. i guess its m$ windoze fault that people got used "point & click".

ubuntu for both client and server. why ? because of the support, mas astig pa nga ubuntu compared to debian ngayon considering that ubuntu came from debian.

why fedora for server?

[Ryuji_tanaka]

why fedora for server?

habit i guess.although mas optimized daw ang ubuntu even for server nowadays

[Guest Leviticus]

^^actually, same tayo na ubuntu for desktop and fedora for server. habit din siguro I guess. Ubuntu WAS designed for desktop application (except yung ubuntu server) while fedora (version 7 na right?) has been around longer than ubuntu and the thought of Fedora as a server just comes automatic.

 

ewan ko ha (experience rin siguro) but palpak na palpak para sa akin ang RHE as a server :thumbsdownsmiley: napagiwanan na ng fedora to think na beta-version ang fedora ng RH

yeah, i know the feeling of getting used to it.

 

from your evaluations, is fedora stable enough like unix?

[webmaster_ph]

fyi: ship-it is currently temporarily closed.

 

so requests for free ubuntu cds are on-hold.

 

they are preparing for the release of feisty fawn.

hhmm... fedora stable enough? :thumbsupsmiley: it depends on how you use it.

 

ganito na lang.. I once installed Fedora 4 in a CPU na kumukurap kurap na sa WinXP; meaning kahit ilang beses ko na install ay feeling ko masisira na ang hardware. I cleaned the CPU inside and outside first and installed Fedora as a means to learn linux hands-on. my intention at that time was to use the cpu as a testing unit for fedora, tutal masisira naman na eh.

 

eight months of continuous (24/7 naka-on) operation as a webserver, ftp, samba, and chatserver saka ko switch off for cleaning again. the only time na switched off.

 

wala na ako sa kumpanya kong yun but still operational ang fedora server na ginawa ko

[webmaster_ph]

cool...

 

i'll try both and see for myself.

 

thanks for the inputs.

i have not tried installing fedora myself so i cant comment on anything, from redhat i moved to debian. why? simple reason, debian is still free and looking for software dependencies is not difficult because of the apt utility. then this yum came which i heard its the same a apt ( gaya-gaya he he he). then i tried using ubuntu as workstation, parang mas cool sa aking yung ubuntu server edition nila ngayon compared to debian. though we still deploy debian for customer installation.
