Bite your tongue, Kev!!! :-))

Travis,
I think there is a utility called slackget (or sumphin' like that) that works much the same as aptget....Have a look at google or freshmeat.net....
I am old school. I install a minimalist system, then build everything from scratch (including compilers and libs...)

Ok it will be setup as a server, no GUI, nothing that's not needed.
It will server these purposes:
Samba server (just in the internal network)
Web server (one site external a few internal sites)
NFS Server (internal network only)
MySQL server (internal network only)

The smallest space footprint would be best.

I would like the software to be quite stable and tested (IE. not MySQL
5 or apache2 (where its only security patches and not new features))
I don't much like RPM distros but if that's the best option that's
what I'll use.
I'd like a good package management system.
I won't be installing source code. ( I want to keep with the packages
to easily keep track of everything.)

I been thinking about Debian or FreeBSD.

what do you guys thing would be the best option (Please post other
distros if you think they are better)?

P.S. Sorry I just cant think today.
