I am getting a new dedicated server with CentOS 6 and have the option of getting Plesk 11.x for free.

I know, sysadmins are supposed to hate panels, but it would make the client's life much easier (and fewer support requests for me) if Plesk were installed.

I have no previous experience with Plesk and would like to know if like cPanel, Plesk compiles its own versions of software too. If it does then it would be a no-no in my book, as it would complicate things a bit too much for me. Having to deal with custom versions of software as opposed to standard ones would just tip the balance against Plesk.

  • This question appears to be off-topic because it is about [`working with a service provider's management interface, such as cPanel`](http://serverfault.com/help/on-topic). – HopelessN00b Jan 14 '15 at 03:40
  • Only the lowend sysadms hate them. High-end sysadms know, for what are they useful and for what they aren't. – peterh Jul 04 '15 at 16:23
