Thanks everyone for the encouragement, I feel safe that Ubuntu is the distro I hoped it was in the production world.

 

I will be using it mainly for an internal application, single domain running Apache2, MySQL5, PHP5.  This app will be a quoting system for in-house sales department for about 300 users.  I could use some advice on server deployment and setup.  I am in the early stages so I’d like to gather as much info as I can without being a pest, but I’ve found most admins are more than happy to help fellow admins out.

 

My first dev box is a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (it had W2k3 Enterprise on it, blah!):

 

            2 – 3.0 Ghz Xeon CPU

            2 Gb ECC DDR2 Memory

            6 – 73Gb SCSI HDs

            Controller Card Perc 4e/Di

                        Logical Drive 0: 2 – 73Gb Scsi RAID1 /dev/sda

                        Logical Drive 1: 4 – 73Gb Scsi RAID5 (the controller wont allow me to choose RAID1, only 5 or 0) /dev/sdb

 

I installed Ubuntu LAMP install to /dev/sda just to see if all would run, hardware compatibility,etc and it works great.  Now my question is what would be the recommended partition and OS install.  OR should I just re-direct MySQL DBs, /srv/www, logs to /dev/sdb

 

Thank you for helping in this project. I look to have 2 production servers and 2 dev servers, slowly replacing the 14 W2k3 servers we have now. Our owners are committed to open-source and so is my IT department and we are replacing .Net programmers with PHP freaks!!

 

Thanks,

Bill

Subject: LAMP Production Server - Dell 2850

 

We are planning on rolling out an internal web application to LAMP.  I’m at the point of choosing a Linux distro that will be stable and growing community.  I am fimilar with Linux and mostly FreeBSD in a production environment.

 

I’m looking for encouragement to go with Ubuntu Server in our production app because I really like the distro and its outlook.  Server admin, how has your experience been, should we go with Ubuntu and has anyone installed on Dell PowerEdge 2850s

 

Thanks!!

 

Bill
