Title says it all really. I have a server running Centos 5, and it's proving a proper pain in the butt getting bitcoind and ppcoind built to run on it. If I keep bashing away, I will eventually manage, but it shouldn't be so tough!
So I was considering canning it and switching to Debian. Or a n other. Any thoughts?

Don't listen to all the people saying Ubuntu. It's honestly a matter of taste. If you want a bloated Windows replacement that feels like a toy, go ahead and use Ubuntu. Me, I prefer Arch. Actually, I prefer Xubuntu or Lubuntu. Way less bloat, access to the same repositories. Arch is good, steeper learning curve though. |

My recommendation for anyone trying out Linux for the first time: Ubuntu My goto for a quick and simple setup for a single-purpose machine? Ubuntu Server My Linux OS I prefer myself? Gentoo Me, I prefer Arch.
Actually, I prefer Xubuntu or Lubuntu.
Never used Arch, but never saw any advantages of ditching Gentoo for Arch. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as they say.  Xubuntu is outdated, and has hardly and advantages now. Lubuntu is nice, tho, and I would recommend that one as well as an alternative to Ubuntu. |

I've gotten them working on ubuntu and raspbian wheezy, so I'd vote for any Debian. It's a nice family because there's a lot of users and support.
There's no reason it wouldn't work on CentOS -- what error are you getting?

Centos....
Cut the crap and don't support a spyware company, you just need a basic CLEAN server install, as minimum as possible so that the memory is maxed.
Be CLEAR that hosted services SHARE the ram and generally use dynamic allocation and bulls* 'time sharing' of ram.
This can cause subtle issues with the linux kernel...
Also don't use a company that uses 'parallels' as their virtual support system, ensure they use VMware.
If anyone tells you that are the "same" or that parallels is "better" then they are an idiot... stay AWAY from them as much as possible you may become infected by their stupidity.....
Nine times out of ten, you will find it is the hosting environment that screws you over more than the hosted one.

Sorry - been away a while. I was running Centos 5. Trust me, it was a bitch trying to get bitcoind compiled and running (and I'm a 20+ year 'nix admin). I'm guilty of not remember the exact problem, but I think the compile was failing on some missing cryptographic library routine that Redhat don't support for a reason I don't quite remember either.... I'm now running bitcoind on Ubuntu 12.04. An absolute breeze compared to Centos 5... ps. my mining is done via cgminer running on raspbian on a pi.... |

Same here, just the raspbian wheezy package. Don't bother though, it runs so slow I don't think it's worth it. You really need an external HD also.

I use my pi only for mining (not to run bitcoind). It does that just fine.... |
