| 3 | h2. Our Preference : CentOS |
||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 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. |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | CentOS is the same as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), except that it is free and supported by the community. |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | We have most experience in the installation of the supporting packages on CentOS and this installation guide has specific instruction for the process. |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | h2. Other know cases of success: |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | * Two members of the lab has Processing-server of Appion/Leginon installed on Fedora 10. |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | * We have also a case of SuSE installation a year ago. However, since php-mrc module needed at Web server is not yet working on php 5.3 and above which current SuSE come with, |
||
| 16 | php will need to be downgraded if you intend to use SuSE. |
