OpenBSD vs Redhat for hosting
So I am new to self hosting and got apache to work on windows the other night so am looking to try it out on Linux (redhat) or OpenBSD (unix). My only problem is which one do I want to learn. I don't know either operating system. I did a google search and heard that OpenBSD is harder to use but overall a lot better than Redhat and that if you have experience with redhat it won't help you much in learning OpenBSD. I am good at reading instructions but not to tech savy. Do you guys recommend me just jumping right on learning OpenBSD? My websites will mainly be PHP based and would eventually want to do a lot of hardware controlled webscripts, that will connect to COM or serial ports on that server to send and receive AT commands.
Any suggestions? |

If you want general 'so secure it's a pain in the ass' and 'most people won't know how to hack this', you want OpenBSD. If you want shitty-written PHP modules, and software to work, you want Linux.
By AT, I assume you mean the Hayes command set. I can't even fathom why, unless you're doing some bizarre asterix. That works with almost everything.

As someone who hosts on openbsd and freebsd machines, I would recommend sticking with linux or freebsd if you don't know much about unix
