Thank you hippo - that is extremely helpful
I will be the only sysadmin so Gentoo is definitely out of the question!
System perl is 5.16.3 (but 5.26 also available) so could well be what is powering your current shared hosting
I think you could be right...
I have been looking at this article to try and find out what the shared hosting is actually running. Most of the commands they suggest are not available...at least not over SSH. But cat /proc/version yields:
Linux version 3.10.0-962.3.2.lve1.5.39.el7.x86_64 (mockbuild@buildfarm
+2.com) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39) (GCC) ) #1 SMP

Which looks remarkable similar to the sample output from a CentOS 7 box!
but systemd
I had no idea what systemd was...
Looking it up, I have little more idea but, more to the point, don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing...the online world seems to be pretty divided on the issue. |
