Hello Marc, I'm currently deploying a new web application (tout arrive...) which means I haven't much feedback to provide regarding stability. However, looking for a good Linux distribution I have found that CentOS 5 was a good candidate. It's free, based on Red Hat EL 5 and seems to be used by many hosting companies. Until now I'm happy with it, including the documentation (Redhat) and the support provided by the CentOS forums (note: I'm new to Linux and haven't a sysadmin sous la main). Hardware: Dual core Intel, 2 disks, Raid1 with 3ware 9650SE card. The application uses LW prof, Portable Aserve and PostgreSQL 8.1 (CLSQL). The server is still in test but will be on the web next week.

Hi! We have racks of linux servers running LW, all with debian. Some still have older debian versions, and they still run LW 4.4.*-based images, but in my experience, the LW 5.0.2-based images are in general more stable, and 64-bit LW 5.0.2 is even better. We're now aiming to move most of our stuff that still runs with LW 4.4 directly to 64-bit, and are extremely pleased with the performance and stability of 64-bit LW 5.0.2. We use Oracle as a database, though, so I can't comment on postgressql. We don't use mod_lisp either. (regarding motif: We see some buggy behaviour every now and then, but OpenMotif is generally better than lesstif, and 5.0.* is no worse than 4.4.*) -- (espen)
