For server? Which one would you use in your server¿

Debian stable. I know you can use packages with Gentoo but it's not the point of Gentoo, the point is endless compiling and that means server load. Also dat stability.

This. I run my servers on Gentoo.

UBUNTU YOU FUCKING RETARDS

Unironically this.

debian, the only option

server edition?

O P E N B S D

*bsd or bust
reminder that the bsd's have avoided a ton of 0-days with Intel's shenanigans and otherwise

what are the benefits of OPENBSD against Debian¿?

Mass storage: FreeBSD
Network appliances: OpenBSD
General purpose servers: Debian
I need gui dur hur: OpenSUSE
Japanese robots: Gentoo

Whats up with Ubuntu server only supplying ~300 packages in their default repo?

Security at cost of features
Not saying that's bad tho

>using arch in your server

features like what?

for server use Ubungo or Debian

Hyper-threading for instance.
The mind set is 100% security.
If it ant secure it will be removed, regardless of breakage

CentOS

Debian

Nice going

>using an OS with proper up-time
>nah dude lets just load balance a lot of nonfunctional servers.
Any of you niggers actually maintain enterprise servers? or are we proclaiming our opinions based on the experience we have using our old desktops as home nas?

Just trolling out of my enterprise experience. Servers crashed so often, pajeet tier employees could not fix, sysadmins setup fail overs.

You got me hooked.
I wouldn't have been surprised if you were serious, considering other statements people made in this thread.

I guess some here are really dead serious. But to make you feel better, I got some enterprise grade servers under management which are just going strong. CentOS though.

This all the way. Currently running 8 of them at my workplace. Stable af with long life cycles. Sysadmin's wet dream.

I know they have limited filesystem support. They do not have support for ZFS, but I am not sure about BTRFS. Also XEN is basically not supported.

Try proving me wrong first before crying, newfag

wtf is this retarded OS?

>arch

the only thing that's minimal about arch linux is the installation
(and by that I mean it's one command after you've partitioned your disk)

qubes

pubes

>Gentoo
>unmaintainable
Weak bait or you're a brainlet. Gentoo is extremely stable and easy to maintain once you have installed it

>getting called out by 3 guys
>replying to the person that doesn't supply arguments and calling newfag

I also must agree with anons, I really hope you don't work in IT, and if you do, i hope its in India.
To me it seems that you dont understand the difference between a server os and a pc os.
Also you lack reasoning as your arguments conflict in many ways.

You really got worms for brains, don't you

>using outdated and insecure Debian packages on your server

Read up on how Debian maintains its packages and then come back.

No

Ubuntu Server 16.04

Debian in almost all cases.

NetBSD has good Xen support.

>root@SERVER
>Ancient kernel
>i7 in a server
>Barely 2 hours of uptime
lol

I'd use windows for a server before gentoo.
how fucking dumb do you have to be?
ubuntu *.04 for servers

Then just go away and don't come back.
/b/ is probably where you want to be.

>arch
>elementary
confirmed to not have the slightest clue what you're talking about
neither of those are server distros or support that use case very well

I thought it, you said it

My god, you really need me to spell it out for you, don't you.

It's a cynical remark - you really think someone would advice to provision anything on Arch or ElementaryOS?

Naw I'd rather have an OS that doesn't make me jump through hoops to get *gasp* nonfree software and that has shitty driver support for new hardware (especially gpus). You are probably a retard that can't handle a cli

So by lack of replies, Can I assume this somewhat correct?

You seem pretty serious about using Gentoo as server os, so who knows.

I'm not spending 30 minutes to an hour configuring an install when I could spend 30 minutes to an hour finishing the server.

Debian it is.

> Not doing linux from scratch for each of your servers

Again read up on some facts. and stop spreading cancerous opinions. someone might take you serious.

Or Red Hat, or Debian, if you cared to read. Stay quiet and let the grown-ups talk for moment, OK?

We are talking servers, not mining rigs.

>that one retard in every Jow Forums thread who has no idea what he is talking about but feels the need to argue

This is an insult to Debian and RH.

You're retarded

Debian, hands down. Server needs stability, reliability and ease of maintanance.

Gentoo is a good choice for desktop instead.

Perfectly fine server OSs, mate

Debian. I run Ubutu server on all mine, though.

Fuck off pedophile

bad bait

Please elaborate, genuinely interested.

>you have to pay to use redhat
developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download/

>for development use only

Mostly agree but mine goes:
Mass storage: OmniOS (illumos)
Network appliances: OpenBSD
Web servers(for webshit like php and cgi): debian stable (thinking of trying devuan)
Http server: 9front, alpine or OpenBSD
Compile farms: gentoo, i just update in down time or void
Hypervisor: SmartOS(illumos)

Most of my stuff runs as a kvm or zone under SmartOS unless i need/are easier to maintain on baremetal. Anything internet facing is running either alpine or OpenBSD with 0 exceptions.

Look at the post I was replying to.

>criticizing your distro classifies as "cancerous"

Go to a hug box cry baby

If less eyes on the code = more security then yes, sadly that's not true.

Freenas - for data/everything I want to last error free for 10+ years. Got a Nas (offline) that keeps a copy of everything in case the Freenas server's go tits up one day. Goal is to have it all (data) survive error free from 1997 till the day I kick the bucket. After that, it'll be up to my heirs to decide.

Server 2012 R2 w/ReFS - For my media server and general use, such as client backup storage and torrents.

SmartOS has no plans to support Ryzen/EPYC in mainline. DROPPED.

Yeah genius. Hand me down from my old desktop and my old server is now my router. Stay poor and make another what can I do with my raspberry pi thread.

>gentoo
>have to go manually include 30 different fucking modules in the kernel to get my AMDGPU to only possibly work
>good

getting shit to work wasnt so bad with using nouveau. like i litterally would just go the graphics part of the kernel menu config and just enable nouveau and maybe 1 or 2 other modules and it would work just fine. but yet with AMD you have to go to such fucking autistic lengths to get shit to work. i cant even fucking get kernel modesetting working with my AMD card and it doesnt even fucking output in the proper aspect ratio.

Not him but dDude you got fucking rekt. sit down and rtfm.

Gentoo, for servers ? Are you insane ?
