<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Greetings!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">
I only recently stumbled upon FreeIPA and am salivating at the mouth (sorry for the gross mental picture!) in excitement.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">
Twice now, I've tried to install IPA server on a Centos 6.4 VPS at <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/price-comparison-chart/?refcode=47494ed444e1">DigitalOcean</a>; only to helplessly watch the install process hang at some point after executing <span style="background-color:rgb(180,167,214)">sudo ipa-server-install</span>.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">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):</div>

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)?<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">
I'm relatively 'green' in the Linux world and got started by diving into Ubuntu.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">
2.) Is it possible to run a production server with IPA server on Ubuntu?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">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.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">3.) Any reason why a production server could not have IPA server on Fedora?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">
