hi, I'm looking for dedicated server to put websites of my clients. No shopping carts and ecommerce ("sensitive") sites but sites, but they are paid and clients expect to be up & live all the time.
I found on hetzner.de VERY good offer and the review I read was really good. I decided to go for it.
they offer as OS Debian 4.0 min/LAMP*, openSuSE 10.2 min, openSuSE 10.3 min/LAMP*, Ubuntu 7.04 min, Ubuntu 7.10 min. I already use openSuse 10.2, openSuse 10.3 on my desktop and laptop. Though, I'm a little bit concern about using 10.2 or 10.3 for "production" server? I would like to hear your opinion.
Although openSUSE would work, personally, I would use SLES10. It has a long support period, no need to reinstall every 2 years. It's much more to it than that, look around the novell page. http://www.novell.com/linux/
Are you planning on having an identical "QA" system that you use to test config changes, security patches, etc. And are you planning on NOT installing X. If so, I would be comfortable with openSuse from my experience. If you can't run a lamp server without X or you don't plan to have a dedicated identical test system to test rollouts, patches, etc. I personally don't think you should be selling any sort of service. FYI: On the servers I have inhouse, I have X installed and if I want to access the gui, I run startx, but in general they are CLI only. I don't recall X ever killing the CLI function, but I have definitely had X / KDE functionality issues.
