Re: Which Server OS to choose
I guess there's no real good argument against Ubuntu, except for the colour scheme of course :). Personally I like my Linux to be as close to UNIX as possible in operation and I guess the 'sudo' thing put me off a bit (though since I've found how to get su to work). The other problem I had with Ubuntu was getting my 1650x1080 monitor to work with it. The latest Ubuntu I tried just wouldn't drive it. SuSE seems pretty much up to date with applications / libraries etc. However you're in the same boat with any distro - there's always a possibility that the particular library or app that you need isn't going to be available through the distro build and you'll have to compile it yourself.However if it's a LAMP server you're after for doing dev. work you shouldn't have any problems with any of the mainstream distros.

Re: Which Server OS to choose
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?

Re: Which Server OS to choose
I have used Fedora 9 (Desktop Edition) Then I switched my complete system to Ubuntu Server Edition. I liked Ubuntu. Server Edition is really light weight, fast and stable.

Re: Which Server OS to choose
My own preference is for OpenSuse 11. I was using Ubuntu (version 7.x and then 8.x); but I had issues with authorization taking a long time. This was annoying when saving files from Dreamweaver on my desktop over ftp sessions to the server. In the end I got fed up with it and switched (back to) SuSE.
