[TriLUG] Migrating to Fedora

[Rogers, Matthew via TriLUG]

Just use centos.  It Is a RHEL recompile and is way less bleeding edge than fedora.

Hi,

I am considering a moving my laboratory's linux workstations from running OpenSuSE 13.1 to the current Fedora distribution.  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 use NFS pretty extensively in my lab's computing environment for moving data between the various Linux boxes. So, here is my question:  Should I use Fedora Workstation or Fedora Server?  I guess another way of putting is the question is:  Is it possible (and easy) to install NFS server software on Fedora Workstation?

Thanks for any guidance.

Paul
