Do you own a webserver? not one you paid for that is hosted at a data center and never seen or touched. This is for those who own there own Linux/Unix webserver and built it your self. what OS do u use.. what do you run on your server? I have 4 webserver at my house seclusionphoto.com is on my windows server and soon to be on my cent os server. i have a new site i been helping some kids build its on my ubuntu server dramaskate.stwebs.net the one I am working on now is on redhat running on a duel processor 4 gb ram 2 TB Hd T4 Line.

I know this is the "Linux Users" forum, but seriously, for a web server FreeBSD rules all. FreeBSD is the OS Apache is developed on. I find FreeBSD much more straightforward to administrate for a dedicated web server. The base system is all made by the same group and feels much more cohesive. I can give specific examples, but try FreeBSD if you can. Learn it and find out how awesome and simple it really is compared to Linux. I run a few FreeBSD web servers for clients and at work. My home web server is just a P3 733, chosen for it's low power use. The only times you should not use FreeBSD for a web server are: - You need ASP/.NET. Obviously use Windows. - Your site is a heavy DB site and that DB is MYSQL. This is not a FreeBSD issue, it's because the MYSQL devs are tools. Use a proper DB and FreeBSD is fine.

1 centos (cpanel...) 8 ubuntu (web/db/lb/mgmt/smtp/memcache) most of these guys boot with their disks RO and sent logs off system via rsysloged . all managed with puppet in a colo.

i run gentoo linux (apache2 + PHP5 + MySQL) on my personal webserver. its a dual-core prescott with 2gb of ram. i use it for testing bleeding edge stuff, and testing new software installs. my home server also runs gentoo linux, httpd is installed, but not used. this box is primarily used for storage and file sharing with Samba. its an x86_64 recycled gaming machine with 1gb of memory. the production network i work with is all FreeBSD and Gentoo Linux. we like port trees, and from source custom builds. Gentoo has tried to implement some BSD-like thinking into its design. thats part of the reason we like it. IMO the BSD PF firewall software is far superior to anything ive seen in the linux world as far as ease of use and administration goes. my only bitches about FreeBSD have to do with what Washu mentions above with MySQL, and ive run into some shaky/strange Samba behavior with it (but this could have been platform related). the only os we have summarily abandoned, CentOS.

QFT. As many linux flavors as I've tried out, I would always find myself coming back to FreeBSD. Unfortunately I've been out of the game for a few year. Actually working on IT makes doing it as a hobby no longer fun or enjoyable
