Building A server - need distro recomendations
I'm building a LAMP server. I plan to run Postfix or qmail for e-mail. I'm looking for distro recommendations. I'm looking for an easy to use graphical interface to configure most settings, I don't have a lot of time to manage the server - so every thing needs to be quick and easy to setup/maintain.
I've used Open Suse and had good results, but I was wondering if some one would recommend other distros. thank you. Nino |
www.distrowatch.com is your best choice. Members here will only give their favorite or the one they used. It's your distro or server, you choose which one suits you best.. ;)

There are an endless number of possibilities, but personally I like to use Fedora for servers. I tend to have better experiences with Fedora on servers than many other operating systems. For a graphical interface, the only thing I've ever used before is Webmin, which is quite well built, but ultimately I usually prefer to use the CLI.

CentOS or Ubuntu LTS ftw!

I run mine on opensuse as well. The YaST LAMP install option is nice.

personally i would use SME Server 7.1
its all administered with a web broswer, automatically sets up the mail server with a webmail interface. It will also act as a IMAP & POP3 Server as well as SMTP personally that would be my choice |
