forum server

I want to run a small forum server on a linux box. It would need standard newsgroup fonctionnality.

Any suggestions?

for what? cpu? distro? software?

Suggestions for what?
Machine specs? >300Mhz, 128Megs RAM
Distro of choice? Mandrake of course
Best web server? Apache
Best forum software? So many good free ones (vBulletin costs though)

I use phpbb. Check it out at www.phpbb.com . Its easy to install, free, and very nice in my opinion.

I'll second the vote for phpBB. I used to use InvisionBoard, but it was a little too on the graphical side for my liking.

EDIT: Can't spell

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm looking for the server software. Running on a debian system.

I'll take a look at phpbb. Thanks.

LAMP:
Linux? & Apache & PHP & MySQL
