Best distro for...
What is the best distro for a file server (SW RAID5, spanning sata and ide), nforce4, ati x300 pcie (cheapest pcie card I can find), Athlon 64? I would *really* like to run 64bit, but don't want to have any "problems" as this will be my first attempt at Linux SW RAID5.
Thanks.

The best one will be the distro your most familiar with.. they're all capable of what you want to accomplish, use what you like most as there really isn't a best for anything in particular.  |

Perfect words! I'd agree 100-percent. |
