From the minutes[1]: 15:18:31 <quaid> #topic Hosting 15:18:39 <mburns`> eedri_: i'll look 15:18:58 <dneary> Alter Way - Kévin's back on the case after a busy spell, and he just needs to know what OS we want on our server 15:19:30 <eedri_> dneary, i think centos 6.3 will be fine... 15:19:33 <dneary> #info Kévin Mazière got back to us, and asked what operating system we want on the server. RHEL is OK, but we need to supply a license 15:19:34 <quaid> +1 15:19:43 <quaid> yay, info! 15:19:45 <dneary> #agreed CentOS 6.3 15:19:48 <eedri_> rhel 6.3 is preffarable of coursed 15:19:56 <eedri_> but if we don't have lic, then centos 15:20:06 <quaid> eedri_: actually, I think CentOS might be preferable, too :) 15:20:15 <dneary> quaid, IIRC, you took xcare of license provisioning for old servers, yes? 15:20:17 <eedri_> quaid, sure :) 15:20:18 <quaid> it's the common platform for the oVirt users, right? 15:20:29 <quaid> dneary: Linode runs CentOS 15:20:31 <eedri_> quaid, isn't that fedora? 15:20:32 <dneary> Ah 15:20:39 <dneary> Then let's not lose sleep over it. 15:20:44 <dneary> CentOS 6.3 it is 15:20:50 <ewoud> +1 15:21:13 <quaid> eedri_: not really, people seem to prefer CentOS over Fedora for infrastructure deployments 15:21:23 <quaid> fine with me, all-in-the-family 15:21:31 <eedri_> +1 for centos 6.3 So the short summary is that some prefer RHEL, some CentOS because it can be a more common platform for our users but there wasn't a long discussion. Personally I only have experience with CentOS and no RHEL but no strong preference.

Well, we need to choose one of them ? Or RHEL on 1st server, en CentOs on second :p 2013/1/3 Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden <ewoud+ovirt(a)kohlvanwijngaarden.nl&gt; > On Thu, Jan 03, 2013 at 02:55:15PM +0100, Dave Neary wrote: > > On 01/02/2013 10:08 AM, Kevin Maziere Aubry wrote: > > >So what do I install ? > > > > RHEL is possible, CentOS is possible.

I have no experience using CentOS at for any service, so i vote +1 for RHEL 6.3. If it's no issue to get RHEL as fast as we can get Centos, i'd say lets go for it.

We want to run CentOS *somewhere* because that's one of the main platforms that oVirt runs on. It's one of the main server environments that our Infra team has experience with already. It attracts other CentOS admins to help with infrastructure. Regarding a mixed environment, I think we should embrace it. I wonder if we don't see a lot of involvement from the Debian or OpenSUSE groups because the project looks like "it's all about Red Hat"? I feel that pushing 100% RHEL for our environment is a detriment to our ability to grow this community beyond Red Hat-enthusiasts.
