You can look at the "
Linux Users
" thread under "Number Crunching" for posts by me describing the history of things that had to be tried/changed to get to this point. I thought maybe I should start another thread since that one was getting so long and included working on problems from more than one user / distro mixed together. Some of my posts in that thread are for helping another user and don't pertain to the RHEL3 problem.

>> David, whilst I am not all that Linux savvy and at this stage do any programming checks as you are, I was just wondering what the main difference is between RHEL and Fedora Core?

>> David, whilst I am not all that Linux savvy and at this stage do any programming checks as you are, I was just wondering what the main difference is between RHEL and Fedora Core? RHEL is their enterprise product. RHEL3 is based on a Linux 2.4.x version, but RedHat have back ported some 2.6.x features and added others of their own. They release versions about every 1.5 years (RHEL4 is out and RHEL5 is coming soon) and they release updates for 5 years. It's meant to be a stable, secure, certified version. My machine also has had a bunch of 3rd party security programs added, although it's not really worth breaking into. RHEL is the product that brings in the money for RedHat. It's also the version that they put through various software certification programs such as the government security rating program. In addition to having the OS put through other peoples certification programs, they have a certification program themselves where they certify applications such as major enterprise software (none of which is on my system) to run under RHEL. BTW, If I understand correctly, CentOS is basically built from the GPL source rpm's of RHEL with the RedHat branding and artwork removed, and some other things added. As they are both produced by Red Hat would not most functionality be similar? I have Docking@Home working on a different machine with FC3. The Fedora Project is a Red Hat sponsored and community supported open source project. Afaik, Fedora Core releases are a testbed for features that they would like to put in the next RHEL version. IIRC, Fedora has a shorter release cycle. FC3 is already considered legacy software and FC6 is out. -- David |

Seriously speaking, since you use the system in text only mode, why are you using RHEL? And what do those security processes do? Is your system hardened?

Seriously speaking, since you use the system in text only mode, why are you using RHEL? And what do those security processes do? Is your system hardened? It's a web server,located in a datacenter. It has everything from APF (firewall) that's been customized, to BFD (Brute Force Protection) to multiple IDS systems, multiple rootkit scanners, PHP hardening, Apache hardening, virus scanners, plus a bunch of other stuff. It's about 97% idle most of the time, so it might as well run BOINC. It mainly runs a site that provides information on authors and has book reviews. It refers people to Amazon for buying them. It's all static html and there's nothing on the server worth stealing like personal info or financial data. In fact, you could just get the data off of it by downloading all the pages on the website. Of course, there are about 20000 of them :-) The html pages are produced from a database on an offline machine and uploaded as a tar.gz file that's currently about 21 MegaBytes. Then it's unzipped and un-tared on the server. I've never tried Debian. It's not offered much for web servers here in the US, and when it is, the datacenter often will not support it. -- David |

I understand, when in your situation it's not easy to change if you manage to build a functional and working system. Maybe it's better if you don't change at all :) |
