Server Linux Distro by Concord Dawn on 05-26-2005 at 10:38 PM
Favourite Linux distro for server? I'm looking for one as I will be replacing one of my old computer with a new one and I'll be using the old one as a Linux server. I'm *not* looking for a GUI (ex. Gnome or KDE).
Note: Flame and I'll send the moderators after you. That is all.

I like Ubuntu's server install, you get no X window system, and no crappy default packages allowing you to configure it how you want. And you can't go wrong with apt-get

you can customize Redhat/fedora anyway you like during install, you can use apt-get in redhat/fedora you can use Yum in redhat/fedora,

There's a site somewhere that allows you to fully customise a distro to your liking, kinda like going to Subway.
All you'll need is:
- Kernel
- Bash
- Apache
- Apache's modules that you want

I've been using SuSE as a server for a long time - I've recently switched it to a GUI and using it as a desktop and server.

Debian-like distro. Like Ubuntu's server install, as Segosa suggested.

) this was only a temporary thing as i needed it for my coursework, i might try a linux server next, are there any distros with apahche,php,mysql?
RE: Server Linux Distro by user2319 on 05-29-2005 at 05:56 PM
Almost all of them have apache, php, mysql. Try Ubuntu's server install, as Segosa suggested, or some other Debian distro.

Even if they don't, then you apt-get them (or manually wget) and rtfm
