[TriLUG] Migrating to Fedora

[Matt Pusateri via TriLUG]

To answer your question. Yes, you can easily install NFS server on either workstation or server.  The major difference in the two is the default packages they install.  Workstation installs the Desktop components, etc.   Also Since you said you’re running  a python app. You may want to look at Virtual Environment. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Python/Virtualenv <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Python/Virtualenv>  Virtual Environment is a way to keep your applications python packages separate from your applications python packages.   Or multiple versions of python.   So if you system python is 3.0, but your application needs 2.7, you can run both on your system without interfering with each other.

The reason is that my lab runs scientific instrumentation (single crystal X-ray diffractometers) which run under Linux.  The old version of the instrument vendor's software was originally intended to run on RHEL.  I was able to make it run under OpenSuSE.  The newest version of the instrument vendor's software has major changes which prevent me from making it work on OpenSuSE.  The vendor currently supports Fedora only.

I guess another way of putting is the question is:  Is it possible (and easy) to install NFS server software on Fedora Workstation?
