Thanks Peter, we have most experience in Fedora Core 1b, but is it a good distribution for production ? We use Fedora only for intranet server, but now for a extranet server, whith maximal security and stability, Fedora is recommended ? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Better-Linux-Distribution-for-production-environment-t1329639.html#a3550214 Sent from the Tomcat - User forum at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As peter mentioned, and I'll stipulate - every distro can be made to be secure (enough) fairly easily if you are familiar with it, and probably no distro will be secured enough if you have no idea what you're doing. If you have experience with Fedora, then go with that. On a general principal I would recommend going with a more recent version, such as Fedora Core 4 on the premise that it has less security issues due to being more up to date, but if you make sure to apply all security updates and upgrade packages that are EOLed, then you should be ok, regardless of which distro you choose. -- Oded ::..

I prefer Debian on all my production systems. It is very stable. I use packages for only underlying components like openssl and custom compile my Apache, Tomcat MySQL etc. One of my systems has 2 processors, 4 gb RAM and lots of virtual hosts, jsps and servlets on Debian and it works like a charm.

RedHat seems to lag seriously behind current versions of software, and many third party apps require the latest and greatest, which RedHat often doesn't provide in it's enterprise solution. Is RedHat tested better, perhaps, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't come with what I need.
