The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hi X-perts,

I need to set up a new dedicated server with the Adobe Flash Media Server. Since it is a fresh server, I have a few choices of OS (the options provided by the hosting company):

# FreeBSD
# Fedora
# CentOS
# Windows 2003- $75 setup. $25/mo
# Windows 2008- $75 Setup FREE, $89/mo

I have never setup FMS and, according to Adobe it runs on win2003 or Red Hat. I need an advice from someone who installed FMS across different systems:

1) Are there any troubles of installing it on Fedora, which supposedly should be the same as RedHat?
2) Installation on FreeBSD? Any problems I can experience?
3) Should I force hosting company to install RedHat? Does it make sense to pay extra for RedHat over Fedora?
4) I would rather stick on *nix based OS than jumping to Win2003. Any thoughts on this?

The bottom line: I need to select the easiest OS to install FMS, preferably license free

Any suggestions?

Thank you
