Linux

Created 10 years ago in Technology / Other

Using Linux on the desktop and on servers. Let's talk about the most widely used server operating system today and how you can use it to power your online infrastructure.

On the desktop I tend to use Fedora and on servers either CentOS or Red Hat.

I have previously used Ubuntu and in various versions but moved across to Fedora to more closely stick to the kind of Linux that is most usually installed on the servers that we work with for clients.

It would be fair to say I'm a massive fan of the system and have found the ability to write bespoke BASH scripts to handle all manner of tasks is invaluable and very powerful - from simply changing my desktop background (http://edmondscommerce.github.io/gnome-shell/cron-script-to-change-gnome-shell-wallpaper.html) through to performing automated deployments on live web servers.
