Best distro for a "limited" server
Hello
I have bought a Mini-itx mainboard VIA EPIA LT15000AG
Quick specs.
Processor: VIA C7 1.5 Ghz
RAM: 1GB
Harddisk: 60.0 GB
And a very nice case from idotpc.com http://www.idotpc.com/TheStore/pc/vi...&idproduct=503
Now i only need to find a distro to install on it, i hope some of you have some recommendations.
I will use it for the following things:
SVN server (?)
File and web server (Apache)
Mail server (?)
Backup (Over ethernet)
I of course don't need X for any of these things, so a distro one can install without X is a must.
Any distro. and usage reccomandations are very welcome.

When you said "limited" I thought the requirements were going to be low.
Pick your favorite distro and install it.
I'd go with Debian, but I always do.

@smoker: I am curious and was wondering if you would please elaborate on why you say, "Not Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, PCLOS, Mandriva, SUSE, etc." I agree that Slackware makes an excellent server, but I was wondering what it is about those others that you think doesn't?
