i need to know which distribution would be best. The things I'll be doing with it are: Running Game Servers and Web Design, and thats about it. I don't care about the size of the installation or anything like that, but low CPU usage would be nice.
If you are new, something along the lines of Suse Or readhat
if you are expierenced, or REALLY want to know how linux works use Gentoo or debain. I personally use Gentoo. I tryed suse once, worked really nice, but was bloated, and I couldnt build any files from scratch (no dev tools from default install)
