  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Which O/S to chose?

I've the following O/S's to chose from when doing a reload:

Fedora Core 4
Sarge Plain (only Network and ssh, no other preconfigured Services)
SuSE 9.3

Which one will give the least headache during install and when upgrading O/S?

I'd say FC4 will produce fewer Plesk bugs but isn't supported until Plesk 8. SuSE is probably next best, then Sarge. There seem to be quite a few Debian problems with Plesk so unless you're a particular fan of Debian I'd go for SuSE.

However, if I was you I'd push for CentOS4 as it's free, fully supported and one of the better builds of Plesk.
 
I support Cranky on this - go with CentOS4. I have a few servers using that and they have been the least of my worries.
 
Thanks for info - although I only have the options posted above (O/S reload by DC).
