What linux for a home server?

Print PDF

I've ran Fedora on my home server for years now, right back from the days when it was "Fedora Core" rather than this all-trendy name change to just Fedora. I was getting constantly pissed off with the patches, though; it seemed the quality of code control on subsequent patches to a release was a bit lax and I was spending more time than I liked fixing broken packages every month. While not a linux fanboy as such, I was starting to wonder if people who start the old linux vs windoze argument ever considered comparing Microsoft's patching history over a Linux distro, and who fairs better. Well, truth be told I've got a Vista workstation off to one side that hits every patch released to it, and I don't get software breaking every month as a result of it. Sometimes, maybe, but not always ;). Anyway, this isn't a Windoze/Linux debate - I was just disappointed that I spent more time performing upkeep on Fedora than I liked.

What's going on here? Where's it all gone?

It's becoming anew, and will get built up slowly over a short period of time. For now, if you're that homesick and miss the old one, head to the old site.
