Under Fedora's SELinux settings, Apache is not allowed to open a UNIX-domain socket. Since the default for PostgreSQL is to use a UNIX-domain socket if the client is on the same host, it kind of breaks our software. I'm not familiar enough with SELinux configuration to know how to allow Apache to open a UNIX-domain socket.

I also don't like the way SELinux breaks almost everything useful. :-( I've been using Debian Testing for about a month now, and I'm really quite impressed with how everything fits together nicely. The wealth of packaged software is amazing; almost everything I've wanted is just an "apt-get install" away (with the single unhappy exception of XFCE version 3.) > If it's the latter, you might want to have a look at CentOS.

We build our RHEL4 binaries with RHEL4 running under QEMU on Debian.) I also feel it's a bit nasty to Red Hat to use CentOS or White Box Linux. Even though it's perfectly legal, I'd rather use a different distro than use (basically) Red Hat's commercial distro without paying anything to Red Hat. I suppose Red Hat doesn't care because it doesn't get money either way, :-) but it's just for my comfort.
