| 3 | We list our experience and current progress here. |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 13 | Amber Herold | h2. Our Preference : CentOS |
| 6 | 1 | Anchi Cheng | |
| 7 | If you have a new computer(s) for your Leginon/Appion installation, we recommend installing CentOS because it is considered to be more stable than other varieties of Linux. |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | CentOS is the same as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), except that it is free and supported by the community. |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | We have most experience in the installation of the supporting packages on CentOS and this installation guide has specific instruction for the process. |
