Hi all,
I plan to settle in the comimg months a web server to deliver many
services to the trading community (I am myself a trader).
I daily use Arch as my system on my home box, and I must admit I am
very satisfied by its strength and its very active and deep involved
community. My plan is to first train building the website on a VM
server, then go to a remote dedicated server.
Can you please give me some pro/against reasons for using Debian
distro rather than Archlinux as a web server? Is there any provider
offering Arch distro, as it seems it is hard, near impossible, to
find one.
TY for your advises.
I just want to add I am just a small level over the n00b status,
let's say I am a n00b++, and learning Debian specificities can proove
to be a waste of time.
Depending on the webapps you wish to run, some of them might be very
unpleased not to meet the "usual" distros.
Furthermore, administrating a production Arch web server might be in
my own opinion a time consuming activity (regarding the rolling
release aspect). Especially if (like most of admins) you prefer to
test updates on a "PreProd" server before applying them on production
one. You may probably have a look on the ArchServer project.
I want the website to be first a place for trading ideas/opinions
exchange, with usual stuffs as mailing list, forum,chat rooms or any
kind of article publishing. I need to be easily able to publish
technical analysis in image format. I want to be able to provide live
feeds, quick links to ouside article. Then, I will probably enable some
kind of private login, with acsess to customisable pages.Last would be
to sell analysis and risk mangement software/Latex processed automated
reporting.
Nothing really fancy in fact.
