Hi Russel

I originally tried doing an install on Centos when I did my first 
install around a year ago. The reason was that it was for a proof of 
concept and I wanted to reuse an existing server that had spare 
processing capaicity. I am sure that with enough persistence it would 
have worked out, but it was just too much of an uphill journey compared 
to the ease of the installation process on Ubuntu where there are 
packages already available and tested. So I took the route of setting up 
a separate server where I could install Ubuntu.

My assumption is that the majority of installations are done on Ubuntu 
and it is tried and tested combination. I also assume that most 
installations are dedicated servers that run only koha so that choice of 
operating system is not a show stopper.

best regards

John
