Ninjakreborn Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I like 1and1 for linux. They have some really good servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonglass Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Probably either Debian or RHEL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Debian IMO - it is rock solid, and has a majority of web apps under its APT (advanced package manger) which will pull down all relevant security updates. Ubuntu is pretty much the same also. The free equivalent of RHEL is either fedora or Cent OS, but neither has as wide a range of "standard" packages. Third party packages are required for things like phpmyadmin. That package is part of Debian/Ubuntu stable. Also - do NOT install a GUI desktop, or X server. Get to know the terminal and you will allow your server to breathe easily. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
