- Install Fedora on Xserve, part II
Thursday, July 23, 2009 by Martijn Broeders
Goal: Finding a good dedicated server for professional use.
Goal: Finding a server of high quality and decent price.
Solution: I found a brand new Apple Xserve on ebay.com.
Specs: Xserve1,1 (2006) Quad 2Ghz Processor, 64BIT, 8GB RAM and 3x750 GB HD.
Problem: Mac OS X Server does not has any web based user interface for professional web site hosting.
Problem: I use Cpanel.net for all my clients, converting accounts won't be a solution.
Problem: Cpanel.net does not support Mac OS X.
Solution: Install a Linux OS that is supported by Cpanel.net.
Problem: While the Xserve only supports EFI it's not possible to use Bootcamp or any other Linux OS. You can't boot or install a Linux OS CD/DVD AOTB.
Solution: I was able to install and run Fedora 11 with Cpanel.net on my Xserve1,1Leave a comment › Posted in: Daily
