[ome-devel] Preferred platform for OME?

[Graham Klyne]

We're looking to make a decision about which is the "best" (== most 
compatible, stable, secure) Linux platform to run OME for live use.

So far, I've completed a trial installation on Fedora (FC2), but I'm told 
that this doesn't get security fixes beyond about 6 months.  Currently, 
we're thinking of using "Scientific Linux" for the live system.  We are 
intending that OME will be running on a dedicated machine with a RAID array 
for the image and database storage.  As this system will be the primary 
repository for  large amounts of hard-won experimental data, reliability is 
a key goal.

Does anyone have any specific experience and/or recommendations?
