Hi all- Over the past week or two, I've been trying out asterisk under Fedora 1 Linux (RedHat). In my setup (single and dual Xeon motherboards), I have so far had a very good experience in terms of performance. In doing E1 load testing, I've found that Fedora handles heavy load much better than RedHat9, probably because of its better use of the multi-threading capabilities of the Xeon. Before I deploy Fedora to customer sites, though, I'm interested in other people's experience with Fedora. If you're using Fedora, please tell us: what's been your experience?

[Asterisk-Users] Experiences with Fedora 1
Hi Scott, Similar to your experience, I've been pretty happy running Asterisk under Fedora. My server has a single Xeon CPU and seems to run circles around Red Hat 8.

I've only been using Asterisk with Fedora for a short time now, but I have had no trouble with it on my older server and a T1 card from digium. My server is a Pentium III 733 MHz with 512Megs of RAM. Nothing special, but gets the job done. The only problems I've heard from people with Redhat's new POSIX threading library is in using Perl AGI scripts. I don't have any of those on my setup so I can't verify those problems.> "Scott Stingel" <scott@evtmedia.com> wrote: > Hi all- > > Over the past week or two, I've been trying out asterisk under Fedora 1Linux (RedHat).

Only minor issue I ran into was with installing Vmware, where it requires the same compiler that is used to build the kernel. I had to download a couple of additional RPMs to solve that problem, but it was a comparative cake walk.

[Asterisk-Users] Experiences with Fedora 1
I haven't personally switched to Fedora but I did decide to upgrade a lot of the packages on my * box from RH9 to Fedora. I have not spent a lot of time monitoring how it has handled the load but it does seem to run quite smoothely. After having installed many of the packages to satisfy library and other requirements. I would suggest that anyone who is doing an upgrade from RH9, not only upgrade the glibc package but also the binutils, gcc, libgcc and other pertinent packages because I experienced quite a bit of problem with * stopping and not seeing a particular library before I upgraded all of these. Just my personal experience. AJ On Thu, 4 Dec 2003, Scott Stingel wrote:> Hi all- > > Over the past week or two, I've been trying out asterisk under Fedora 1 > Linux (RedHat).

Hi Scott, Could you, please, help with the info on Fedora enhancements (as compared to RH9) for Xeon multi-threading (hyperthreading?). Nothing in Fedora FAQ about it. Thank you.
