Best Server Distro

wwnexc · 11-03-2005, 09:14 AM

I was wondering what you think the best server linux distro is.

I've been using slackware, but i heared that freebsd is really good as well. Solaris i am not sure about, because it seems to be a litttle too much based on java stuff.

By the way, does freebsd out-of-the-box have a graphical interface (x)?

Good luck - you are about to be inundated with ideas and opinions. Try searching the site for "best server distro" - you'll see that this has been asked before.

I know... All i am trying to do is get a general idea of what people think about various distros.

Slackware for the win!

Really, in all seriousness everyone has their opinions and reasons.
One person may like this distro or the way one distro handles foo better than bar.

I'd say do some research of the capabilities of each distro, any (dis)advantages, test them out and find which you like most.
