Centos 4.4

hey I hope you are not thinking that I am a nerd

Note: Today I installed my long-waited Centos 4.4 So I will be starting trials about this mod

CentOS 4.4 is the newest version. Maybe you are talking about 3.x series These are the old versions.

As far as I know, meaning of 4.4 is this: RHEL 4 Update 4

So, if the guys on Red Hat upgrades RHEL (which means Red Hat Enterprise Linux), CentOS guys update their distro also.

Nearly all datacenters use the option to install CentOS 4.4 . The others are Debian or Fedora in general.

I prefer Pardus which is a Turkish linux project supported by the government if I use Turkish in my documents (well, you may understand from my older posts that I am a Turk)

But in general, I am using English (at school, at projects, at laboratory, in Operating System etc.) so that I don't need that Pardus distro. So I use the new king Fedora Core (the old one is Red Hat 9)

Anyway, if you want to check out Pardus, you can visit their website: http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/index.html

And, as far as I know, CentOS guys are still working on this project

(Well, your server is using Debian. As a server, Debian is the most stable free one but generally big companies prefer RHEL as server. In our department in school, we are using a Debian server but in a company that I know in my city, IT department uses RHEL. That is a private telecom company.)

I was met with linux by a Mandrake 7 CD I don't know when really But that's not too old (7-8 years maybe)

I continued to use Mandrake series (8, 9.x) but I didn't like the way Mandrake behaved (they changed the upgrade system only for susbscribed users)

Then, I moved to Red Hat 9. I used it in 2003 (I remember very clearly) but in 2003, Red Hat 9 became old, so I upgraded to Fedora. I liked the way Fedora constructed. So I continued.

1 year later, I need a Windows Box for my school projects, so I bought a WinXP (well, that deal is a bit tricky I don't want to talk about it ) I used it for long long years (until today)

Today I am still using a Windows box but I want to change it to a Linux box. So, nowadays I am searching for a reliable distro. I tried Ubuntu (I am afraid of using Debian It is too complicated for me. Well, users of Debian don't say a word like "complicated" but, I like to fine tune my OS but I cannot do it in Debian. I don't know why )

I tried CentOS (well, I even couldn't install PHP on CentOS So I made a research because generally all servers use CentOS. I found that CPanel configures all Therefore, if you install CPanel, you don't have to worry about your configuration.)

Now, I am trying Fedora Core 6. Well it is still my favourite I don't know but Fedora is very simple to understand in my case maybe I got used to it

Well, I know I know I killed the SEO topic

Anyway, I will ask about Apache in related topic I think. Because I couldn't manage to do some kind of setting about ~user system of Apache...

OK, thanks. It is rather funny to talk about linux in SEO topic. I am sorry for that.
