Hello I am getting the Intel Xeon 3060 Dual Core Conroe server from ThePlanet and I was wondering which OS would be the most suitable for a Cpanel WebHosting server between:
CentOS Enterprise Linux, Version 4 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) Redhat Enterprise Linux - x64, Version 4 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Version 4 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) CentOS Enterprise Linux - x64, Version 4 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) Centos Enterprise Linux - x86_64, Version 5 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Version 5 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - x86_64, Version 5 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) Centos Enterprise Linux, Version 5 - Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) What are the differences between RedHat and CentOs and between 32bits and 64bits version. Thank you! -------------------- Karim Aziz - kiko0123

I'd recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Version 5 32bit. Once RHEL v6 comes out, v4 will be EOL'd.
Unless you have a specific reason to go with 64bit, such as more than 4GB of memory, I wouldn't bother with it. -------------------- Tomy Durden

If you choose RHEL v5, do you need to buy a license from RedHat in order to get updates? |

Some servers lines might show Mo. Fee/Setup Fee: ($0.00/$0.00) which means we're taking care of it, some of the lower lines might show a licensing fee. For the most part, a sales person should be able to give you the exact details on what lines do and do not have licensing fees. -------------------- Tomy Durden

Any OS you order from ThePlanet is completely legitimate and has full access to updates. -------------------- John W My personal website with many free security and linux how-to's!

It would be nice if cPanel supported a 64 bit OS.

I would say RHEL with cPanel.
Now the tough question is what control panel should you use with cpanel..?

I prefer the vi control panel on Gentoo... but we don't support Gentoo.
