I need to set up several servers, some for my home business, and some

nicely.

I have used a variety of Linux distros for about six years now. I have
NEVER seen a Linux system crash short of a hardware problem. That is a
non-issue with any distro.



After recent disappointments with Fedora 8, I am looking elsewhere. I
kind of liked Ubuntu and am wondering if anyone tried Debian or Ubuntu
servers.

Debian stable would be an excellent choice for a server.


Have you found a rock solid, easy to upgrade linux server distro?

I do not want much, all I need is kernel, filesystems, ssh, LAMP stack
and that's all. (where P stands for Perl)

thanks
