New Server O/S?

Unread post by Galactic Zero »

Ok, planning on a new server, should I go RHE4 / PSA 8.1 or CentOS / PSA 8.1?

Which will have a longer shelf life and be nice and stable for a year or two?

RHEL4 and CentOS 4 are practically identical, as CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL (they just change the branding). With RHEL you're paying for Red Hat support, with CentOS you're not (but you're also not getting any). Both RHEL4 and CentOS 4 will receive security fixes until 2012, though I don't know until when SWsoft will support running Plesk on these versions.
