Best distro for cmd-line webserver
 
Hey,
I'm completely new to linux (but not at all new to computers). I recently got an old box that I'd like to run a webserver on. It's slow (celron 466), so I want to use the console as opposed to X etc. So basically, I need a small distro that is good for webserving (preferably with apache/php/mySQL ready, but I'm not too worried about compiling them).

Thanks,
Seft

I like slackware. It should be perfect for that. During the installation, just dont install X, gnome, or KDE and it will be command line only.

Good luck on the server!

btw - Linux is free, you should just try them all :)

Linux. Really powerful, yet doesn't take much power.

ok, thanks. I'm downloading Slackware 9.1 ISO1. do I need any of the other ISOs, or it is just extra stuff that I dont really need for a webserver?

Discs 1 is required. Disk 2 is just kde i believe. Disc 3 and 4 are source so you wont need them. gl
