What about Fedora?
DEBIAN IS THE BEST DISTRO!!
amazon linux
I use mageia 9 on my servers and my desktops at home.. It works great!. They also release Mageia when it's ready around 2 years.
I have a question, I have a Dell PE2900, I know its ancient but can I run Ubuntu server in it?
Ubuntu
I regret that BSD was not included. I know, I know, It's NOT Linux, but Unix, But is a Windows alternative for servers. I cut my teeth on FreeBSD on our DNS and Web servers.. Having to compile every package. The kids these days with apt and yum… Also, Packet Filter over IPTables any day!
I am self teaching myself through videos like yours and other sources. I need a free version to set up a home lab. With recent changes it seems like Debian stable and Ubuntu server are only ones I should be looking at? Debian 12 just released but Ubuntu is the popular one. Other than release cycle and support. What’s the difference
Watching this in the midst of the Red Hat fiasco. Sadly such content has become unrelatable.
IIRC, even Linus Torvalds cracked a joke about the Debian repositories being 100,000 years old..
Why wasn't temple os server on the list!? Only joking😅😂
At 19:04 the caption on the chapter would be SUSE not the typo SASA right?
Your channel is way better than most other Linux content on YouTube, thanks so much for this wealth of info.
Hi, this is kaushik from Bangladesh, I want to know like windows server have any other operating OS LINUX or ubuntu/kali use like normal os & server os also. please explain
Ubuntu – Macintosh Guys
Arch Linux – Mackintosh Guys, for their PlayStation (Valve)
Redhat = IBM / Oracle
SUSE = Microsoft / BEA SYSTEMS. (Also Slackware)
Debian = Sun Microsystems Guys.
Suse was a huge disappointment years ago, when they only had commercial versions. I moved out of Suse and never look back. And also it was too out of standards.
Unfortunately, Ubuntu still ships with an outdated kernel so you will still probably experience issues if you try to install that on new hardware
i cant fucking get windows server setup am not compatible with windows server my mind is fucked
Talk mire about fedora. And also some of the default security per distro regarding selinux/AppArmor etc.
Thought it was interesting you covered SUSE but skipped Open SUSE which is their free version without enterprise support. Great video either way.
