We like to use Slackware for a trimmed down server. It is like Debian
in preferring to be stable instead of bleeding edge. Even the latest
Slackware doesn't even let you choose to install Kernel 2.6, for
example. It has great hardware support as well.

Which distribution would you say would be the best for a LAMP server.
The machine is an OLD AMD K6-2 500MHz, 128MB RAM system. I want a
lightning fast simple, trimmed down, non gui loaded Linux
distribution. Any suggestions? I have heard that Gentoo, Debian, or
Slackware are the most sleek distributions, is this so?
Requirements:
SSH login
Will run Apache, PHP, MySQl
Will run Samba
Text based system config tool, similar to Suse's Yast (drives me crazy
that Mandrake and RedHat don't seem to have something like this).
