Which distro is best for dedicated server
Hi
i have had alot of bad experiances with webhosts in the past in the way of down time. So i have decided to buy a dedicated server and i have a choice of linux distros that i can have pre-installed. I can choose any of the following:
Code:
Debian (Stable, Unstable, Testing), Fedora and Slackware

I will be using the server for file storage, personal website and a few other things. So what do you think is the best distro for a dedicated server. I would normally pick SuSe or Redhat but they are not available and i havent tested any of the available distros. Any Advice would be appreciated

Well everyone including me avoided answering this. An answer to this can open up a can of worms, but here goes.

If you are somewhat new to linux I would stick with a redhat flavored linux for ease. At work I have two servers running on fedora and our mission critical web server we pay for Redhat enterprise

I have chosen Fedora, I do have a redhat box setup and fedora is very similar to redhat like you say.

Yea, its about the same. You get free updates with fedora. But our mission critical server is very important to us to have updates and support if we ever need it. Fedora is a fine choice. If you need any help with it post um here.
