Mandrake is a good desktop distribution, but it tends to want to push the graphical envelope at the expense of stability. Debian's stable, and a lot nicer to admin. You might want to check out the Melbourne Linux Users Group. http://www.mlug.org.au/I'm worried about compatibilty with hardwareIf you don't run X-Windows (and you *are* talking about a server, aren't you?) then Linux should have less problems than Windows.and my Windows software.Your Windows software won't run on Linux, unless you run an environment like Win4Lin. If you're referring to Cold Fusion code, you'll have problems in a couple of areas. Firstly Linux, being a Unix-like operating system, is case sensitive. So calls to programs need to be consistent. eg: <cfinclude template="myFile.cfm"> <cfinclude template="MyFile.cfm"> will call different templates. This can also be a problem with uploaded files. Directories use / rather than \ And if you're running a desktop database such as Access/Dbase etc it ain't gonna work on Linux. On a positive side you get the ability to easily run free databases like PostgreSQL.
