I've been working for about 4 weeks now at setting up qmail on my RH 7.0
box. I'm somewhat new to linux (my real sys admin background is in WinNT,
etc. - but I lost the desire to deal with their licensing schemes...) and
I've given up on the RH dist for a number of reasons including the issues I
have had with setting up qmail - dealing with xinitd vs. more typical "boot"
scripts and other things I don't understand enough.
I have access to pretty much any dist and wanted to know what the opinion is
on the most recommended distribution... I've heard Debian, FreeBSD, etc in
other areas, but wasn't sure.
I intend this box to be super secure with qmail (for multiple domains) and
bind/dns running, thus I don't want the frills of an Xwin sys or any added
visual toys, or to run a telnet or ftp server. I have learned how to login
remotely using SSH and that's about all I need. I am familiar with the RH
shells and the way they (RH) have the sys set up, but I guess I could learn
over with a different dist.
I digress... Suggestions?
Thanks,
SF
