@scottalanmiller may i know why u recommed fedora more compared to centos 7? Im using centos 7 so far.

I have an article on why...

http://www.smbitjournal.com/2017/04/rethinking-long-term-support-releases/

Basically when using CentOS, you have one of two choices...

Use old packages that get many years out of date and make you run much slower and with fewer features most or all of the time. Or...
Don't use CentOS as intended and defeat the reason that you chose it (long term support with unchanging packages.)

So for things like app deployments, it rarely makes sense IMHO.

Not sure. But Jakarta used to be Batavia and Batavia, NY is named after it.

@scottalanmiller will u recommend fedora for enterprise production server compared to Centos?
As i know, centos is more superior in term of stability for enterprise grade.

I used to be brainwashed that way

Yes, that's what I moved to myself.

This is not at all true. CentOS, for all intents and purposes, is just "old Fedora." So any instability issues of Fedora would still be there in CentOS, plus any problems from not being kept up to date, which in this day and age are pretty significant. I've found, due to being so out of date, that CentOS is not as reliable as Fedora, nor as powerful.

That's two of us at least.

It is not "old Fedora" exactly. CentOS is more like Fedora branched off and then continually updated along a different update track. Kernel updates happen, package updates happen. It is not inherently less secure or less powerful.

It can certainly be less powerful if you want something like PHP 7 because you cannot have it. That package update is not going to happen. But security updates and fixes to PHP 5.4 continue to be applied to it.

It's definitely old. Both Fedora and CentOS are kept up to date. With Fedora the time frame in which that is done is more limited and you are expected to keep the macro updates done to keep updating. CentOS keeps getting patches for that old code base longer. But it is essentially just a single Fedora release that keeps getting patched. So old is the best way to describe it. CentOS 7 is, for all intents and purposes, Fedora 19 with patches still coming out.
