Hopefully this doesn't start a flame-war, but it is likely to become a large thread in any case. Ah well... here we go! :) I have been using RedHat and Fedora, but am now in the process of transferring my servers over to CentOS. It is a direct rebuild of RedHat Enterprise Linux, so it has stability and a slower upgrade cycle which is very nice for a server. I have run Courier-MTA, Apache, Bind, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, Samba, etc and it has been very easy to deal with and extremely stable. -- Bowie
