        Question on this. Would you choose a distro that your not familiar with but know it will work and do the job for what you need?? i.e. FOG imaging server?

        That is very common. I often recommend that you use the "distro of best choice for the project", but have company standards for when that is irrelevant.

        To some degree, as a company grows, the value of "right for the project" compared to "standardized administration" begins to shift. So the real answer is "it depends".

        And of course, within reason. I use CentOS, OpenSuse and Ubuntu pretty freely depending on the use case. If I am starting from scratch, I won't use Ubuntu, but the other two pretty freely. If a project calls for something really odd like Arch or Gentoo as what is recommended, I will generally look for one of the major OSes instead if possible. Nothing wrong with those, but OS sprawl needs to be limited as well.

        All good advice thanks Scott, in my example I've managed to get FOG working and imaging in a test lab using a youtube tutorial with Kubuntu as the Distro. But can't replicate with CentOS which is my preferred Linux OS (Only because I've used it since v5)

          @hobbit666 Kubuntu is a weird one because it is specifically not a server distro. Ubuntu is general purpose, desktop and server, but Kubuntu is a specifically KDE based Ubuntu modification. So only exists for desktop usage by intent.

                  I consider this thread so important that it should some how be featured.

                        After reading the Linux architecture post, I was thinking, "I wish there were a good list of sites/resources for learning Linux." Didn't have to wait long. I only dabble in Linux and have setup some things like Cacti, Owncloud and others. I started on ZeroTier, but had to put that down to do some other things. I would love to become proficient enough with Linux to actually use it on my resume.

                          @wrx7m I'm going to try. Hopefully soon we have enough to call this a real resource for learning.

                                Can this be a "sticky" thread? I finished one of the topics and got lost on the way back to find this thread. LOL

                                      I don't want to make it sticky because it is just my writing stuff and nothing official or really sticky appropriate. I am hoping to make some handy "back to the main thread" link banner thing, though.

                                        Oh, I'll make a tag for this group. That'll work great.
