Hi all,
I do not want to start a Holy War or anything of that nature. I am looking
for honest success stories on using Mandrake in a production web environment
for web hosting and postgres for serving the php pages.
My professional experience has been with BSDI, FreeBSD, Solaris and NT for

I've heard that FreeBSD is less prone to problems in a production
environment also. However, we run RedHat 6.2 24/7 and have very few
problems.

Hmmn. Performance is likely to be pretty much the same for both
distributions. Open Source software installation is much easier on Debian
[packages are downloaded and pdependencies worked out automatically].
Closed source aps [which you might have a need of] are generally more
available for
I hate to say this but the ISP's I know in the midwestern US run FreeBSD or
Unix. I've been on one provider several years; his only planned downtime is
hardware upgrades. It's the best connection in four-states and he runs
FreeBSD..

If you're looking for case studies of high traffic sites, both MS Hotmail
and Persian Kitty [the biggest sites in their respective
categories or webmail and porn] primarily use FreeBSD.

Thank you for your thoughts and thank you to everyone who has responded. I
have to look at a couple of things. First off, Debian seems to shy away from
any commercial products, I have been told that is why KDE is not included,
you can install it, but it is not part of it. If I were to go
It's been a good discussion. I just thought I might point out your not
really using the term `commercial' correctly [many Open Source folk
don't]. The opposite of Open Source is closed source. The opposite of
commerical is non-commercial.
Mandrake is a commercial Open Source OS - the

Interesting conversation, so here's my $.02.
I work for a small ISP. We're migrating from Windows to Linux (don't blame
me for the NT, I'm moving us to Linux as fast as I can...) and I've played
with RedHat and Mandrake. (I very breifly played with OpenBSD, but the
install was over my head

Thanks for the correction. I agree, Open Source is wonderful. I would like
to share with the group a personal experience at my work with Open Source vs.
Something else. When I got there the company was running a web site using
ASP on NT. Hundreds of lines of code to do email forms!
