Which distro is easiest to setup for these services...
I want to set up a new home linux server to use for the following services. I have set up redhat, fedora, and opensuse for these services in the past, but it always takes me a while to install and tweak to get everything working. No distro has ever done these few things out of the box without a bunch of work on my part.
1. vnc (fast and preferably available even after a power outage) 2. disk storage sharing to windows machines (in the past I've used samba... is there something better?) 3. bit torrent client (I've used vuze, but I don't care as long as it works reliably) 4. occassional apache and ftp server That's it... that's all I need. There must be a distro that I can get up and running quickly with these services. |
whatever you're most familiar with

you're used to redhat-based, so I'm not going to suggest Ubuntu.
SuSE probably, just for yast2. |

Just in case anyone is following this thread... I thought I'd let you know which distro I chose. I chose fedora 11. I did a quick test and I like the fact that I can install almost everything I need during initial fedora installation including repos. Opensuse was getting too buggy lately for me.
