- XOs have a localised OS build that sets the domain if your antitheft server.
Setup Public Server
The recommended distribution is Fedora-11 or newer. At time of this writing, F-12 is available, and RHEL6 seems to be close to release -- it is advisable to install on F-12 and upgrade to RHEL6 or CentOS6 when they are available. RHEL/CentOS provide Long Term Support appropriate for the antitheft server role.
- Perform a minimal installation, using the kickstart file outlined in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MinimalPlatform
- Configure hostname to match the domain name assigned
- Configure network to match IP address assigned -- it is strongly recommended to disable NetworkManager and use network-scripts instead. To do this, use chkconfig to turn NetworkManager off, and the "network" service on, and configure the network interfaces in the usual way.
