[Freeipa-users] Best OS to use with FreeIPA?

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

My experience with IPA over the last year is, I wouldn't use this in a production environment without full vendor support.

So I have to say RHEL6.4 64bit, yes it will cost but frankly its minor compared to lost downtime and credibility.

Hi Peter and Dimitri,

Thanks for your responses.  I think I am going to bite the bullet and put F18 into production.  One of the elements that made that easier was recognizing that RHEL 7 was going to be based on Fedora of some sort, and a stripped-down Fedora with SELinux will be plenty secure while I wait for that convergence.

It seems that Fedora 18 will be the template for RedHat 7 so it's almost like getting it early.


Cheers!  Brian
