Good bye CentOS! Hello Ubuntu

Posted on by

Its been about almost more then two years since I have been playing with CentOS on many different platforms etc. Its very stable but on the other hand, PHP/MySQL updates are very hard to get and still PHP is 5.1.6. I tried EPEL repo and it updated PHP to 5.3.1 but still there were conflicts with stuff and many core packages.

So, I thought why not move to Ubuntu since it has just announced 10.04LTS (Long Term Support) in April 2010. Folks at iWeb were really nice to do a reinstall without any charges and also process a memory upgrade request at an amazing 50% discount.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

  • Apache 2 version is 2.2.14
  • PHP version is 5.3.2
  • MySQL version is 5.1.41-3ubuntu12
  • SVN (Subversion) version is 1.6.6

As a comparison CentOS 5.4 has the following versions

  • Apache 2 version is 2.2.3
  • PHP version is 5.1.6
  • MySQL version is 5.0.77
  • SVN (Subversion) version is 1.4.2

So if you are a PHP developer looking to deploy a Linux flavour on your new box, choose Ubuntu :)

As the website says

Monitors Subversion repositories for new commits and shows a notification to the user when that happens.

Download Commit Monitor @ Google Code. It is a great tool that helps me monitor when a new commit has been made to SVN by a developer working on the same project as I am :) , cool na?

P.S. Its a Windows tool

Lately, I have been getting the following errors while running or attempting to run Tortoise SVN 1.5.6.14908 on my Windows Vista Business Edition.

TortoiseSVN error on Vista 01

TortoiseSVN error on Vista 02

So what I did was, download the latest Nightly Build from tortoise website and it solved the issue. Hope it helps somebody.
