network admins: what flavor of linux is most used in the workplace?

Easy Rhino · Oct 21, 2008, 11:30 PM

the question is in the topic. i know my way around several different flavors of linux but am curious to know which you network admins think is the most used or recognized in corporations, etc. i would guess solaris but i wouldnt be surprised if it is redhat.

[I.R.A]_FBi · Oct 21, 2008, 11:35 PM

redhat/suse

thanks. and what are their main functions?

[I.R.A]_FBi · Oct 21, 2008, 11:40 PM

honestly i dont know, its what i hear my netadmin friends talk about.

Pinchy · Oct 21, 2008, 11:42 PM

The main server at my Univeristy runs off Solaris. It runs our webserver and network @ Uni.

Jizzler · Oct 21, 2008, 11:50 PM

We have four dedicated web servers at two different hosts and they're all running CentOS.

Internally I have a CentOS virtual machine for game serving. Past that, I don't know.

niko084 · Oct 21, 2008, 11:51 PM

I see a ton of Redhat, Suse and Ubuntu.

And I actually have Ubuntu running on 2 Dell 1900's here, running Server 2003 in a VM, which is running Virtual Server LOL.

LOL! a lot of network admins seem to do a lot of that.

Heh, well being they are pretty much file servers, gotta put those dual quads to work...

panchoman · Oct 22, 2008, 12:46 AM

i think redhat/fedora are the most common, and the tpu servers do run one of those btw.

Solaris17 · Oct 22, 2008, 01:04 AM

suse/solaris

in fact my site awhile back my buddy cousin was running for me it runs on solaris10 on an ultrasparc

Solaris is not Linux.

As for the question at hand, I see Red Hat and Suse a lot when I see Linux, but more often I see BSD in one form or another...

DanTheBanjoman · Oct 23, 2008, 10:25 AM

Quite some different editions, different per company. For instance at my current job we use some Linux named "Windows". At my previous job we had several hundred Suse servers in the stores and mostly ESX servers with Windows on them at the office. Besides that various Unix servers and SCO.

Flyordie · Oct 30, 2008, 09:06 AM

When I went to college for Network Management/Linux/Unix we used Fedora 7 for it. ;-p
Fedora loved my Radeon 7200GT All-In-Wonder and hated Nvidia. Everyone else couldn't get desktop effects going cause they had 7300GS's... and I was using that 7200GT. lol.

I then bought my rackmount about 2 weeks into the course (10wk course) and am the proud owner of 2x Quad Core Barcelona's at 2.7Ghz and for GFX 2x X1650XTs in Crossfire. No one messes with my server. umphh.
Currently I am hosting a TS server on it (leased, private) and have 99.4% uptime on the year. I had a TAGAN PSU kick the bucket and had to overnight a new Antec NeoHE 650W which cost out the butt. So far, I like Fedora... Ubuntu needs some serious user friendly improvements before I move to it.

Flyordie
EDIT- The 7200GT is an R100 Core with a 220Mhz Core, 220Mhz Mem Clock.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Cent just RedHat rebadged, and without support?

VulkanBros · Oct 30, 2008, 11:34 AM

Gentoo / MAC for all network releated administration (Cisco routers/switches)
VMware 3.5 ESX for all virtual Windows servers

Yup, that's CentOS.

It's popular with the web hosts - GoDaddy, Lunarpages, Atlantic.net, HostGator, etc.

Easy Rhino · Nov 2, 2008, 11:10 PM

good info as always. im going with fedora 9 as the main OS and will run vista, ubunto jeos and freebsd as virtual machines. i figure i should really make the quad core 2.66 ghz run like a beast with 4 gigs of ram. i should probably go 8 gigs but the board only supports 4. maybe by christmas i will have the second rig up and running.

Might support 8. I say it's worth a try anyway. If not, you have a nice 4GB kit to put in a second rig.

Highly unlikely that a chipset new enough to support a quad core doesn't support 8GB.

eidairaman1 · Nov 3, 2008, 07:23 AM

id say redhat

that is what i thought but the board's manual says support up to 4 gigs. it is a microatx board tho so it only has 2 slots. perhaps 2x4 gig ram would work. i will check google to see if anyone has tried it.

Ah, two slots. The chipset most likely won't have problems with more. At the time of printing there probably were only 2GB DIMMs. It's like my old X7, manual says 24GB, though it won't mind more using larger modules. I doubt any manual takes 16GB modules into account for instance. Elpida made those, sick stuff

8GB is more common though, and still not taken into account with last years boards.
