Quoting Jason Louie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Which distro do you use as a business webserver, (w/ Email) server? Why?
I use Fedora Core 1 running Sendmail as my e-mail server. I chose Redhat/Fedora because I have experience with Redhat systems on the server side, and I find them quite simple to setup and use. I upgraded the system from Redhat 9.0 to Fedora because I wanted to make sure that I had continued updates for the product. I'm not sure if I will upgrade this current box past FC1, I'm hoping that the Fedora Legacy Project will do a good job supporting old systems. For my next system I am thinking of using Debian because Debain Stable sounds like it is in fact really stable (considering all the testing that the packages go through before they are in the stable branch). That and AFAIK Debian supports old systems for a long time, and it is very easy to upgrade your system with apt. > Which distro would be simple to keep up with updates and patches? I find that any system that uses apt is very easy to keep up to date. I would say Suse, Fedora, or Debian. All these systems can use apt, and they are all pretty good about supporting their systems. > I definately want something that is stable, secure and easily maintainable. If you want something rock solid, you might want to look at Debian. Suse systems are very easy to work with thanks to Yast2.
