Since we're talking linux distros I've used redhat, fedora, suse/sles, slackware and others and while they all have their strong points I prefer debian or ubuntu LTS for server deployments if at all possible. Package management is a snap, everything just works. BTW ubuntu 8.04 is the most recent LTS release, 10.04 next spring will be the next. Joe
