What do you think about using Ubuntu Linux with MySQL for a production system?

Is it okay to use Ubuntu Linux with MySql as the software for the database server? Usually we use redhat linux advanced server, but we never use the operating system features. And what problems might I encounter in doing so?



thanks for any advice.What do you think about using Ubuntu Linux with MySQL for a production system?
Install MySQL Server 5 on Ubuntu (release is now 5.1)

Okay.

It is very yes okay. It is so okay that unless you want to run in things in a chroot jail or something you can just download Ubuntu Server, and go the through the basic install, then choose LAMP when it asks you about software selection.



I run two production database servers both on Ubuntu Jeos with LAMP on top. Each runs MySql and Postgre Sql (which I HIGHLY recommend since you can can have a journaling WAL file and all of your queries should work fine.)



LAMP stacks are so easy with Ubuntu that you don't even need tape on your spectacles!



Install Ubuntu Server JEOS (F4 during setup, select minimal)

then either select the LAMP stack during the final part of the install or

sudo apt-get install lamp-server after its all done.



If you encounter ANY problems at all they will be in the migration not the server.
