Questions

## Linux: frequently asked

Which Linux distribution should we use?

For most teams, a long-term support release of Ubuntu, Debian or a RHEL-compatible distribution is a safe choice. Consistency across your fleet matters more than the specific choice.

How do we keep servers patched without downtime?

Patch in stages, starting with test machines, and design services so instances can be replaced or rebooted one at a time.
