Hi all:
We are developing internal software using MySql dB and are planning to use
Fedora for the server.
The question is how do we know that this hardware (motherboard, CPU) really
support Fedora version 18 or 19? We are looking at mobo from Asus or Intel or
Gigabyte, but did not find firm answer. We did not find the info from mobo
websites either.
The mobo that got our interest are the ones with H77 or Z77 or H87 chipsets.
Is there any URL for me to get the information we need?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rachma
I don't want to start a religious thing here, but I *personally* wouldn't use
Fedora for a production/enterprise system. The bottom line for me is that:
1) Fedora is always being fixed and futzed around with. That's great for a home laptop
or personal server or something where lots of bugfixes and upgrades are great and if
something goes wrong, you can always play with it. It's not so great if you want
something that you just want to "run" all the time with minimal tinkering.
Almost every time one of those massive 300-bugfix upgrade batches come up, I end up
getting something not working with something else, scratch my head and go "Damn.
How'd that happen." Then I either try to workaround it, or I just shrug and assume
that the *next* set of patches a few days later will fix whatever went wrong (and it
almost always does). That's fine for my laptop. I wouldn't want to try to run a
business on it -- though I'm sure many do, and I'm sure they are happy with it.
2) Fedora goes end of life quickly. F18 is not a good choice because of that,
for instance. If you want to use fedora, you have to buy into doing
installs/upgrades every year, and maybe even more frequently. Once again,
that's great if you are into it, but not if you want stability.
For these reasons, I tend to use Fedora for my personal machines and machines
that I don't mind getting under the hood on a lot. For other things, I tend to
go to CentOS -- though I'd go RHEL if I had any money...
That doesn't answer your hardware question, of course, and I don't know the
answer. All I can say is that I haven't had a basic chipset problem with
Fedora in 10 years, but I've always bought commodity machines.
