Hi Tom,

thanks for the response. I look forward to giving the system a try.

Cheers,
Chris.

Hello,

I am about to embark on a project to trial FOG for our school. I see that Ubuntu (or Fedora) are the recommended operating systems and that it works on Centos. I see from the forums that there appears to be problems with Ubuntu 14.04.

I’m looking for recommendations on whether to use Ubuntu or Centos. I’m reasonably comfortable with both, but find that Centos works a lot better in our environment. If Centos “mostly works” then I’ll probably go with Ubuntu but if Centos is just as good then I’d prefer that.

If Ubuntu is the recommendation, then I would probably go for 12.04LTS.

Also, I am wondering about running this in a virtual environment under Hyper-V. I’m not going to have a large installation, somewhere around 500 machines, and they probably won’t be pxe-booting by default, only when they need to be re-imaged.

In summary, my preferred setup would be a Centos VM running under Hyper-V, but if I’m just buying trouble with that setup then I’ll go with whatever is best.

Thanks in advance.
Chris.
