Re: Thinking about a linux server



Kill Bill enlightened us alt.os.linux-(ab)users with:

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?

If you want something to play with (behind a NAT router, not directly
attached to the evil internet, with only the few forwarded ports you
need) it's nice play with Fedora.
Otherwise, take CentOS (=RedHat server clone with updates) or Ubuntu
server since it is debian based.
