Hi...

I just want to build a new server with Linux. So which Linux distro is best suite for Server? Any ideas or opinion?

There is no accurate answer for your question since most Linux distros will work fine on a server. RHEL (or free rebuilds such as CentOS), SLES and Debian seem to be very popular in the enterprises so I would urge you to try one of those.

Well, most Gentoo users would say Gentoo, most Ubuntu users would say Ubuntu, etc. What do want to do with the server? Will you mostly be serving web pages, smtp, web caching, dns, etc? Does it need to run on older hardware? Do you want speed, ease of use, need a GUI or just a command line?

So many questions. If you could please post some thoughts on what you want from a server and I'm sure I (or others) can give you a better answer.

thanks,
