I am purchasing a new computer and will be setting it up from scratch.
Until now I have been using RedHat releases however I have read a lot
about newer distributions (i.e Ubuntu etc.) I would like to get
recommendations for what would be the best distribution for my needs.
This machine will be an internal server for a SOHO setup. It will
provide the following services:
Samba
Apache
PHP
MySQL
Backup storage
NAT + firewall connecting via ADSL to actcom
dosemu
The load on the machine will not be heavy. There will be four or five
other machines (mainly Windows) connecting to the Internet via this
machine and sharing files via Samba.
In the future I hope to be adding other Linux workstations to the
network as well.
The main criteria for me is that the system should "just work" and be
easy to maintain. On my current server I am still running RedHat 9.
After having overcome the initial setup problems with it I have been
able to basically just ignore it and it keeps working.
Thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated.
