moving to linux

Hello, since Tomcat on Windows Server 2003 is not satisfying the
expected performance whe are thinking about to move to Linux. Fedora
Core 5 more precicesly.
 
I would like to know what is the better combination, Tomcat as webserver
or Apache with Tomcat as mod to execute java.
 
Also, there is the posibility of get a brand new AIX, anyone had that
experience before ?
 
Thanks
Rodrigo

Agreed...

If you like cutting edge, go Fedora.. but know that you'll sometimes get 
cut. Debian is really good. Also, CentOS is excellent as a RHEL clone. 
So, if you like Redhat and want server reliability, I would go with and 
have myself gone with CentOS.

Hello,

if performance is your goal bringing an apache in front won't do you any good.
Fedora is probably as good as anything else, although i think it's a
workstation distribution. For servers I prefer debian.

Leon

I'd also recommend you take a look at Solaris.  It's free-as-in-beer
now, and has good performance.  You could also run it on your IBM
hardware if you wind up getting a new AIX box.

We used AIX on a project and really didn't like the
experience.  We had different issues.  Some of them
are nothing more than management is not as good and
even command line editing and running
commands....Linux is just more user friendly maybe is
the way I would put it.  I feel the same way
personally about all Unix vs. Linux however.  My
favorite Unix would be Solaris, but it still has a way
to go in the way of user friendliness especially for
administration...again my opinion but based on
experience.  

I think the Linux community does a good job at making
things (especially on the command line) easier.  That
is the way I see it.  Since you mentioned Fedora I
would recommend going to www.centos.org and
downloading the latest version there.  It is nothing
more than Enterprise Redhat rebranded.  This is
possible because RH provides the source code for the
packages and these guys rebrand and then compile the
same source code.  It runs well and is stable.  I also
recommend SuSE.  You can get SuSE at www.opensuse.org.
 Get the released version.  Works great.  

I used to try to use Fedora Core, but found I had
issues when it came to release to release updates. 
Some things would break every time it seemed.  I tried
installing on muliple hardware.  I had a system on FC2
and went to 3 and had some issues.  Then I went to FC4
and had major issues with the migration.  I went back
to SuSE and RH (CentOS) releases and haven't been
stressed about anything.  I would also suggest using
Ubuntu.  It is really nice and seems to work well and
be stable.  I play around with Ubuntu on my
workstations mainly because I have always used RH and
SuSE for servers, so I am more familiar with them in
regards to administration and layout.
