i am gonna build a linux webserver for benchmarking my sites which i develop for customers. so i was wondering wich linux would be best for me to do this. i am ok with linux, i mean i can compile, install, know lot of commands as well.
so which lonux would suite for a situation like this,
ps. i need the gui too, so i can switch from gui to text..
There is a very good guide to setting up a Debian server here . I also have quite a lot of info on one of my pages . A couple of comments about using X on the server. X can compromise the security of the server and also you can do things in a gui mode without X. I run my own server headless (no keyboard, or mouse) merely by accessing it through ssh using KBear. KBear is an ftp client and gives gui functionality through the network from another box.

Fedora should do fine, but it may not be as stable as Debian Stable or RHEL. You couls use CentOS which is an RHEL clone.
