Regarding comments on Fedora: even most of people use "cutting edge thing" I will only express BIG disagreement. (with all politeness even usually use ....) I'm using Fedora for my production systems for a long long time ago. Without any problems. From F8 if i remember well. "cutting edge" could be only rawhide. Last few releases from 14 especially there is a lack of ... seriousness about Quality Assurance.... if I may say. About longer life cycle ... it is easier to upgrade installation nor install latest php on RHEL-based distributions. this is only my point of view. I can not remember when one of my production system lived longer than two years. Nevertheless ... Regarding moodle on Fedora: (I hope that Daniel will read this :) ) there is a several modifications that have to do to make it operate properly - default moodle package make 2 dirs under /var/www/moodle: web and data. data dir have httpd_sys_content_t context. This context prevent writing under data dir. moodle use this dir intensively for writing. - first: change context to httpd_sys_rrw_content_t on data dir and, and for better security change owner and group to apache. - second: change httpd_can_network_connect_db to on, depending on cache model in moodle httpd_can_network_memcache to on, and httpd_can_sendmail to on for sending emails directly from moodle. After these changes moodle works as a charm on Fedora. My first production moodle setup was on F12. Latest on F15.
