I'm thinking of building a Linux file server. In the past, I've used
RedHat as the OS, but I'm wondering about Ubuntu. The file server is
going to be placed in my closet, with 2TB of hard drives using php,
mySQL, Apache, and SMB services running on it.

Whats better Fedora or Ubuntu as the OS for such a server?

Yes.

Thanks..

The reason for the choice between those two is the documentation. Seams
both are very well documented, and straight forward if you need to look
something up.

Cool. But I see no overriding reason to select one over the other. How
about installing both of them and do a dual boot - you can set them both
up and try them for a while under fire.
