I am going to start working on building a database driven website, and I am now deciding on what Linux distro I want to use.
I don't want to us ubuntu, since it will have so many services available out of the box which I will neither want or use. Although many services will neither installed nor started, I do not want them in available in any way for security concerns. I'm thinking mostly of using: Debian CentOS Gentoo I remember that CentOS had a serious problem with their developers. I don't want a distro that will fall to the wayside. What I need to determine is what **distro I should go with for the long term.** I want something that I can get familiar with so that I can develop an understanding for how to secure it for use on the internet as a production box. Something that I won't to pay for is pretty much a necessity. So it will have to be something that will have really good community support. If anyone has suggestions or comments, I would appreciate it. Thanks Paul
