Hey, has anyone ever used Debian,

Wondering if it worthwhile installing as a Server OS, or should I just stick with my original Ubuntu 7.10Server plan. Still on the fence as to what to deploy as a Linux os for my Web/FTP/Email/File server that comes as full featured as possible.

I need Apache/MySQL/PHP/Perl as well as a solid email server.


Thanks,



Heeter

I am downloading Debian4 (released August 2007), it is a 4 dvd package. I am pretty sure that everything that I need comes with this package, and then some.

Debian. All you need is the bootonly CD, after that you can just download it from the apt-get repositories.

netinst CD image (generally 135-175 MB)

Is all you would have needed.

LAMP = Linux Apache MySQL PHP.

So technically EVERY distribution has it "builtin". I don't see how you can even call it builtin.

Centos + the guides at securecentos.com + the updated LAMP packages by Atomic rocket Turtle (http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com) is the ideal linux hosting platform 🙂

FreeBSD 7.0 is in code freeze so you could spring for that too 🙂
