Help me find a Linux distro

I'm trying to setup a small web-server (more like a small intranet) for internal use. I'm starting from the bottom up (building a new computer, then installing the os, then the server ...).

Question: What Linux distro can handle a web-server? I have used windows 2k server in the past but want to try using a linux distro this time around. Can I use SUSE 9.1 Professional (I happen to have a copy)..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't think so, but if you keep that up my post count is going to stagnate :/

It doesn't have to. I left it vague enough that you could have agreed with the others that just about any distro could do the work. And then talk about how Debian is better suited for whatever. 😛

EDIT: And there's always the ubiquitous "Page file" or "VM" threads. 😉

I know, I got tired of debating distros a while ago so IMO it's not really worth it.

Yes, you can use SUSE. As others have said, any distro should handle it. I've set up Apache on Fedora, Slackware, Gentoo, Mandrake, and Yellow Dog. Of those, I found Fedora particularly easy. I don't know why, but it just seemed like the PHP/MySQL integration was particularly seamless. Plus, Webalizer was already functional, which was nice.

Best of luck.

NTFS vs FAT32 seems ti be "in" again as well 😉

Debian. Easiest to maintain and completely free.

Depending on your definition of free. 😉

Debian's radical fervor for free software is definitely admirable, and would be one of the reasons I wouldn't hesitate to install it again.
