Hi, I am a veteran of many years of Linux, but I am also a MFC developer (so with me you get a balanced opinion). I have used alot different flavour/distributions of Linux Extensively. So if you will permit me to make some recommendations Redhat is too customised, Slackware is too little maintained, OpenBsd is a bit extreme, Debian is a little un-user friendily. I heartily recommend Suse linux, excellent distribution. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

Personally, I like FreeBSD. It has a lot of the security features of OpenBSD, but the core team also keeps an eye on performance. Redhat is not ideal for running a server, because it installs too much. There are a lot of things, like XWindow, that you do not need for a "pure" server. Also, too many internet services are started by default when you install RedHat. The thing I like about FreeBSD is that you can do a basic install, which takes less than 300MB, edit /etc/rc.conf and add the line "inetd_enable=NO", and all telnet, ftp, finger, etc services are turned off. SSH is installed as a default option, and generates all of its keys the first time you boot the computer. If you'd like more info, feel free to drop me a line.
