I'd modify Jeff's advice slightly and suggest CentOS rather than Fedora for servers. I'm pretty much forced to run Fedora on my servers, since using the latest in networking somewhat comes with my job and Fedora is good for that. But upgrading servers twice a year to stay within support gets a bit wearing. I've used Ubuntu and SuSE too and you really can't go wrong with those either. I wouldn't use the small Linux's for a server. You don't want to do a reinstall just because your distribution has gone away. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
