I've been using Windows Vista for quite awhile now, I've also been doing more and more server hosting since I've been curious as to how well one would run with my computer. Suffice to say that they run pretty well. Though, some have suggested me to use a linux OS for better resource usage.
My question is: Which linux would be the best for such a thing? |

| | Metal_Man88's Post | Red Hat or similar is gonna run faster than Ubuntu. Ubuntu is bogged down with user friendliness features and has quickly become sort of a pariah among Linux OSes.

I can't tell you which one to use, but I can tell you that, from experience, Fedora doesn't run better than your normal Windows OS.

I personally think Debian is a good choice for a server; most everything you need will be relatively easy to set up. The software available by default is not the most recent, but you usually will not need anything more recent than that and you can just add backports to your sources.list if you really need a new version of some package.
You speak of hosting servers; servers of what? ____________________ |
