Which Operating System is best for freeRADIUS
Building my FR server, I have the choice of a number of operating system for my FreeRADIUS server. Anybody with a suggestion which operating system is best suited for FR? I like to run FR on a VPS (virtual private server) using one of the following OS: - FreeBSD 4.9 (jail) - FreeBSD 5.2 (jail) - Fedora 2 (virtuozza) - Redhat AS3 (virtuozza) - Redhat 9.0 (virtuozza) - CentOS 4.0 (virtuozza) Thanks!

I'd suggest Debian, because several members of the project are developping or testing FreeRADIUS under Debian. Moreover the Debian package is directly maintained by one the developpers who regularly adds the major bugfixes into the Debian package between two releases of FreeRADIUS. -- Nicolas Baradakis

Thanks! Not too familiar with Debian, but I don't think it is a different world to all the other Linux distributions. I thought FreeBSD might be a candidate since it is more focusing on networking and services. I run several web hosting packages with FreeBSD, Fedora FC4, Redhat 9, SuSE ... I was actually more looking from the user point of view and not the developers. (sorry for that ;-) Gunther

I was talking about the user point of view: the users are assured that FreeRADIUS is regulary tested under Debian, and the Debian package is up-to-date. -- Nicolas Baradakis

Well, I tried CentOS (Redhat EL4) on a VPS server and with a few problems (missing libraries, rpm's) I got FR105 compiled. FR is up and running and now I have to find a way to pass the firewall ... Gunther
Well I am currently using it with FreeBSD can't say that I have had any problems with it, at least not functionality out of the box. On Fri, 2005-10-07 at 01:04 -0400, Gunther wrote:

just for the record, freeradius has worked wonderfully on gentoo 2005.1 On 10/7/05, Daniel Jensen <cto@mtdatasolutions.com> wrote:

I think they all would work fine. I myself prefer freebsd, specificall 5.4. I am running it on standalone freebsd5.4 servers in production and in the process of setting a few up in jails in my lab. I really like the jails in freebsd, they are so easy to use. If you need any tips with it, email me off-list. I've got a couple jails setup right now running openldap.
