I am about to migrate a server installation (one OS) to a newer hardware and wish to enable/use KVM. So the hardware is fixed (https://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex40) , now I got the dilemma of choosing an OS.

Functionalities I am expecting to be met:

  • Apache 2 (2.2.12 or later) or any HTTP-Server with SNI Extension
    • PHP 5
    • MySQL 5
  • KVM virtualisation
  • SSH deamon
  • Nagios capability for monitoring every vServer
  • Security updates for at least 5 years
  • Low overhead (usage of system ressources)
  • No licensing fee

The focus of the selected OS is, besides those basic features, to be stable (OS as well as repo packages) and long time supported (5yrs or longer).

Any enterprise Linux distribution will work for you. You're not setting a high bar or standard. Red Hat/CentOS... Debian... Even Ubuntu can do this.

Otherwise, reference: How should an IT department choose a standard Linux distribution?
