How many of you with leased dedicated or colo dedicated servers are running 64 Bit System? I don't mean that you have 64 bit processors... I mean that you are running 64 Bit Linux.

If you are running 64 Bit.. Have you seen any speed increases that you can attribute to moving to 64 bits and more importantly... have you had any headaches or problems with your 64 bit system?

The problem with Fedora is its short lifespan of a few months vs a few years for the others.

FWIW, I've decided to go with FreeBSD for my new servers.

It is very, very easy to upgrade from older versions of Fedora. It's pretty much:

rpm -ivh fedora-new-release-here.rpm

yum upgrade

Reboot the server and done!


I have had bad experience with CentOS, for the record.

FreeBSD is a VERY good choice if you know how to administer it.

I'm a RH7.3-9, Fedora Core 1, RHEL2and3 kinda guy myself. FreeBSD will be new, but it looks robust and upgrades using the port system looks enticing! Part of the potential issue with Fedora is that it has the impression of being a test OS for commercial RHEL, and as such, is bleeding edge and may be unstable/unsecure.

Yes for a while but I stepped back to K7 after it caused me too many headaches such as certain apps requiring cross compile environment etc.

Erwin, what version of FreeBSD are you going to use? I want to use FreeBSD 6 (64 bit) with Cpanel, however Cpanel says FreeBSD 4 64 bit is the latest they support.

I NEED Cpanel.

I am currently running CentOS 64 bit without issues and am trying to figure out which way to go when I buy a new box next week.

I am running CentOS 4.1 w/ WHM/cPanel in 64 bit without a problem so far. I know my server manager did some tweaking but he said they have been running / managing 64 bit servers with cPanel now for a few months without any problems. I'm guessing they have resolved the issues themselves since a lot of people have been having bad experiences with 64bit and cPanel
