CentOS and Fedora are usually the choices for web servers due to the power of the built in networking/server ability, but it is not really a recommended operating system for beginners. If you are wanting to develop PHP, any one will do (Ubuntu is a very user friendly, but powerful distribution based on Debian that has a good package manager and supports SQL/advanced networking). You can after install a AMP installation such as LAMP (Linux Apache/MySQL/PHP) server and development will be very simple from there.

steviewdr Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I advise ubuntu/debian. It has loads of packages which you can easily install. E.g. phpmyadmin. I'm not sure can you get that with centos by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure can you get that with centos by default. sure ubuntu is good candidate for a newbie but i really doubt if debian could be classified as an easy distro for any newbie to use as a first... in my own experience, it's even easier to pick up and get up to speed with fedora/centos than it is with the "almighty" debian ... but if such a newbie just itches for something a bit harder than the norm, then u could use the debian, help abounds everywhere though so he might no have problems as such.. i would also like to recommend suse, fedora, centos, mandriva...just a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
