Recommended Versions

[Brenth453]

Hello,

To use Ubuntu, what is the recommended version to run the latest version of FOG?

Otherwise, does the newest version of CentOS work well for FOG too?

Thanks,

Brent

I recommend against using Ubuntu. CentOS 7.x is my friend for FOGing.

I have been running FOG without too much issue on both Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.

This is actually generally expected when new major versions are released and it does take some time to work out the kinks for each new distribution. General guidance from the installation wiki is to use the distribution with which you are most comfortable as some tinkering may be required (as is the case for most open source projects) depending on your environment and use case. Centos has been tested and works … see this post

I’m currently running on Ubuntu 18.04, you can also check @Wayne-Workman 's fog build site to see what at least is installing correctly. (I don’t have the link handy but I’m sure he can give it to you)
