Thanks for your quick and good response. I have a small virtual server with Ubuntu and I used the Plesk Panel to create users and ftp accounts. But I also had some problems when connecting as root and creating folders for the www-data user.
How easy can you install applications on openSUSE. The last Suse I used was version 6.1 I think. How is the console-based YaST? Are there always current versions of PHP and MySQL. And how about SVN and Git? Can you get all the important libraries for web development without needing to build them on your own? I rarely used configure, make install. Is there any good argument against Ubuntu? On 27 Jul., 19:03, DavidH <djhollingwo...@gmail.com> wrote: > My own preference is for OpenSuse 11.
