[Freeipa-users] Got a minute to help a n00b w/IPA server on CentOS 6.4?

[Pablo Carranza]

Greetings!

I only recently stumbled upon FreeIPA and am salivating at the mouth (sorry
for the gross mental picture!) in excitement.

Twice now, I've tried to install IPA server on a Centos 6.4 VPS at
DigitalOcean<https://www.digitalocean.com/price-comparison-chart/?refcode=47494ed444e1>;
only to helplessly watch the install process hang at some point after
executing sudo ipa-server-install.

My 'Google skillz' are failing me in that I've only been able to find these
tutorials (neither of which, unfortunately, address the issue I'm
encountering):

   - http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-freeipa-with-replication
   -
   http://sgros.blogspot.com/2012/06/installing-freeipa-on-minimal-centos.html
   - http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_6&p=ipa

1.) Does anyone know of any good documentation out there on deploying IPA
server on CentOS (or, is it not advisable to do such a thing)?

I'm relatively 'green' in the Linux world and got started by diving into
Ubuntu.

2.) Is it possible to run a production server with IPA server on Ubuntu?

Since stumbling onto FreeIPA, I've finally started looking into Fedora.
While Fedora looks very interesting, most of the Internet-chatter I've
encountered seems to recommend CentOS over Fedora for (RedHat-alternative)
production servers.

3.) Any reason why a production server could not have IPA server on Fedora?

TIA!
