[PHP] Question for Linux users...
Don't want to start a war or anything, so e-mail me your responses offlist if necessary, but I'd like to know what Linux distro you like best and why. I'm currently using Win2K Pro/Apache as my server platform and... Well, after 5 months I remember why I originally had Linux on there. I just really like the security that is inherent in Linux. I switched to Win2K after doing a major computer overhaul and having Linux installation problems at 2am - I wanted to go to bed knowing I had a working system, I had a Win2K CD available, so... Plus I could use it as a 3rd client in multiplayer games when my little bro came over. It hasn't been BAD, I mean it's had excellent uptime, no crashes, no security breeches (that I'm aware of), but I'm finding myself longing for Linux! Anyhow, I've used both Mandrake and Slackware distros, but am now leaning toward Debian or SuSe. If you have other suggestions or whatever, please share. Remember, NO HOLY WARS! Offlist is okay if you think your comments might spark something. :) Thanks in advance, Jason Soza -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Wouldn't you rather ask a less inflammatory question - like which is better? Emacs or vi[0]? :o) snip / Anyhow, I've used both Mandrake and Slackware distros, but am now leaning toward Debian or SuSe. If you have other suggestions or whatever, please share. Remember, NO HOLY WARS! Offlist is okay if you think your comments might spark something. :) Don't go for Mandrake. Sure, it's a lot easier to use than the others, but... *shudder*. I'm using Redhat currently, but just as a desktop computer (with theoretical links to my home network). My site's host, though, uses Redhat on her servers IIRC, and has no problems. Apparently Debian and SuSe are extremely good.
