Trip to various places to drop of resumes near my future residence was largely successful. Woohoo.

It’s sorta funny: my attempt at configuring a web server with Ubuntu resulted in switching to Fedora as my desktop distribution of choice.  I had never previously known the Red Hat side of the spectrum other than pre-configured web servers that I’ve been using for the past few years. Building my own web server from scratch, I encountered a lot of frustration and promptly switched to CentOS, a distribution that I’ve relied on for many years as a web server, but haven’t configured myself.  Once I was in, I found a very streamlined and trouble-free environment.  I quickly got a LAMP environment compiled with suPHP and Suhosin set up with no hitches.  All that was left for me to do was configure everything to my needs.

Having used Ubuntu as a main operating system for several months, I liked the idea of a fast-moving and cutting-edge operating system for my own use. Unfortunately CentOS and Red Hat, to my understanding, are not very fast-moving, but I wanted the environment that these distributions offered. Luckily for me, Fedora does with Red Hat what I consider Ubuntu to do with Debian:  a fast-moving, ever-evolving, cutting-edge desktop.
