Hi all,

I do not want to start a Holy War or anything of that nature.  I am looking 
for honest success stories on using Mandrake in a production web environment 
for web hosting and postgres for serving the php pages.

My professional experience has been with BSDI, FreeBSD, Solaris and NT for 
hosting.  My company is moving off a certain platform now in favor of Linux.  
Since NT and Solaris are not options right now I have been looking at 
Mandrake for production environment.  

A guy who works for me tells me that Mandrake can not cut it when it comes to 
production web work and he favors, very strongly, Debian.  Telling me that it 
is the strongest for production environments.  I have been using Mandrake for 
several years and enjoy it as a personal development platform, connection 
sharing in my house, mp3 jukebox, etc.  But, I have never used it for a web 
production environment.

Anyone have some thoughts on this issue?  The machines are dual P3's with 18 
gig drives in arrays, 2 gigs ram each.  Multiple machines behind Cisco Local 
Director.  Mandrake installs fine on each box, Debian is a bit more 
bothersome to configure, but I can not simulate the load of web servers in 
the shop.

Thanks in advance,

-Scott
