I agree totally. Debian in a server configuration is quite easy to get started with, and is rock solid. My first Linux "test server" (my old Pentium 133 MHz desktop) way back in 2002 ran Debian Woody. I kept it running until it died from old age a couple of years ago. Later I fell in love with Gentoo. But if I'd have to run a server with maximum stability and uptime, I think that I'd still prefer Debian. -- Leif Biberg Kristensen | Registered Linux User #338009 http://solumslekt.org/ | Cruising with Gentoo/KDE My Jazz Jukebox: http://www.last.fm/user/leifbk/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
