Hi,
Sorry this question is a little off-topic...
We've been using Freebsd for many years and all of our servers are
running
freebsd.
The only thing that is a pain with freebsd, is poor commercial support :(
We are running in a situation where a customer needs Zend platform 3
(http://www.zend.com/products/zend_platform) which won't be available for
freebsd until the end of the year...
So I will need to setup a machine with linux.
I don't know much about linux distributions, could someone recommend
one to
me please.
We are looking for a platform that will support amd64 extensions, will
act
as a console only server and that has a good way to install ports and
upgrade. We want something secure and stable. We don't wanna go with
Redhat
or any commercial distribution.
I really like the cvsup/make install/portupgrade way of dealing with
software installation and updates and I am looking for something
equivalent
on a linux distribution.
Could you recommend a distribution you are using in production, we've
check
ubuntu, fedora and Debian, but I wonder what freebsd users recommend...
Thanks

Take a look at Slackware.

Seconded, if I got to run Linux, I run Slackware (and I have in
production). If you need it there is a port of Slack to AMD64 called
slamd64, http://www.slamd64.com/.
FreeBSD users will appreciate it's simplicity and it's stability.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
