Considering RedHat's recent press release about discontinuing the RedHat
Linux line in favor of the more expensive enterprise version, I'd really
like a few answers from others (only had one off-list reply) regarding which
operating system is going to be my best bet since I'm going to have to
convert my server to another Linux distro now.
I'll be starting a whole new server to manage everything but curious,
obviously, which distro people have had the most success with other than
RedHat.
Thanks for any help on that, as well as my other unanswered questions.

I searched the site's documentation and found the multi-page
this is what it's
capable of documentation, but didn't see any offhand that answered the
following questions. I sent them to Jacques, but I'd like to pose
it to the list
in general for the 1.0 release so I can get started on vserver in
the coming
weeks.

Hi Jacques,
I've been daydreaming about a vserver setup for my system.
A few things that perhaps would be handy to have in the FAQ:
- what OS works 'best'? Kernel version is obviously important,
but it would be
neat to see some sort of volunteered information from various
users as to the OS
and version of that OS, that they have the most success with
- how does one get started? is it best to start with a totally
fresh machine and
build from there, or could I start from a medium-sized virtual
hosting setup
using Linuxconf and build a vserver and go from there? I guess
I'm looking for
guidance on what should/should not get copied over when building the first
vserver - once I build the first one, I can just use the vserver
software to
duplicate it, but I'm worried about disk space and how to
actually mount/share
file system areas...
- any patched versions of up2date out there? or would I have to
tell up2date to
save a copy of the RPM's on the disk somewhere and run the
vserver rpm utility
to patch all vservers? If I have 100 vservers, is there a quicker
way to tell it
to patch all vservers, or would I have to literally type rpm
server1 server2
server3 ... server99 server100 -Uvh *rpm ?

Thanks for any additional feedback.
