Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Hello all, I am not what people who refer to as a Linux guru, user, etc. I plan to have a 2u or 3u rackserver built r custom, The server itself will be put in a colocation which the supporting features needed is IRC bot, Multi-domain hosting, such as 5 or more domains hosted, each domain will be a different site. What i would like to know is what linux OS should be used or recommended and how should it be configured. I will nee a remote management software as the colocation and my current location will be about 9 hours away. I would appreciate any assistance int his endevaor.
-I- Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 what you probably want is a rather basic linux setup. with webmin (for server managament) and WEB-CP:// for webhosting managament... if you look at irc controlls there are quite a few webmin modules for those kinds of task... what the best setup is or best distro i leave it up to the *REAL* pro's btw you might want to look around at <this> website
gamehead200 Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sargeShows you how to run a complete webserver WITH a web control panel to add domains and accounts, etc...
WBHoenig Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 I agree with the suggestion of Debian. It is the best OS out there when it comes to server use. I personally prefer Ubuntu on the desktop, but that's just me.
tain Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 That makes sense because Ubuntu is based on Debian and aimed at desktop use
