Base OS Requirements

Rate this Message:
I am still trying to get misterhouse installed on my test machine to
experiment with it and learn some things. I was wondering what base OS people are putting this on? I'm leaning to CentOS for stability and long term use, plus I am most familiar with this typeof OS. Are the only real requirements an http server and perl? What is a recommended sound card for this project? Any old SoundBlaster card? Thanks. -- -=/>Thom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Hello Thom,
I've been experimenting with Misterhouse on Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) and on Mac OS X 10.5. I have the impression that MH works best 'out of the box' on Debian-based operating systems. According to me, the only requirement is perl (including the required modules), MH provides its own http server. I cannot recommend a specific soundcard. Best regards, Lieven.

I am running mh on Fedora. I know there are others using it as well. I started using it because I had a friend who runs Fedora so it was easier to get help. I haven't done much comparison but it seems that it has quite a bit of support in prepackaged software including a fair amount of newer stuff. It has a new version every 6 months so if you want the newer stuff you have to update frequently (or at least what I consider frequently since I only work on this a bit at a time). I think you will find every distro has it's tradeoffs - pluses and aggrevations. I recently discovered Fedora sets up partitions as LVM as default. Some may think LVM is great but I didn't. It wasn't clear to me at the time so it took some effort to work around this when I wanted to install the new version as dual boot. Now that I know the issue I can easily avoid it.
I think it really boils down to if you want the bleeding edge, very stable, or something in between. There are lots of choices. I don't think it makes much difference to mh. |

I've been running on RH Linux / Fedora for several years on top of software
RAID with mirrored boot sectors as well - I've even rebooted it four or five times intentionally, and a couple of automatically when the power outage was longer than my UPS could stand, and a couple of times to replace a failed disk - very stable! Seriously - I run 4 to 5 months at a time, and I don't use the machine for much else and it's behind a tight firewall so I'm not patching, there is no web browsing or any of that on this machine, I use VNC to log onto the machine. I did a post a long time back on the various userids and permissions I use to make sure the code is read only and the data directories are writeable, and the userid that runs misterhouse does not have permissions to write anywhere else in the file space.
