Best Distro for Server
 
Hi,
I am currently running Suse 9.2 Live. I am having trobule setting up a network, but thats another story. My question is what would be the best distrobution of linux to use for a file server. It main purpose will be to share files, share a printer, http, ft, e-mail and VPN server. Also i would like the distro that is free......if im not mistaken, they all are.

Also, can some please post a link as to where i can download the recommended disto.

Thank you in advance.

Heh - mate, you've been here for SO many years and
still haven't realised that we're just a slightly more efficient
AI tool than google ;) ... people type a slightly more verbose
query than they would on google and let us do the intelligent
filter thing ;) ... most people who come here don't want to
learn, they want a solution, and they want it NOW. :)

That said: Slackware has to be the best for all purposes ;)


Cheers,
