We're using Gentoo 64-bit on all of our production webservers at work, and I run 4 additional Gentoo-based Django servers outside of work. It took a long time to configure, and is not for the faint of heart. But, my stripped-down versions of Apache and Postgres run really fast with a small

I'll second the use of something like LXC (new to me) or OpenVZ (what we use), allowing you to run/test multiple distros at once. If you want to try debian (or pretty much any linux distro), download a container skeleton for it and install in a few seconds. I've used virtualbox/kvm, but I found

Hi, Thank you all for your suggestions, Especially, Cal and Sam. I'd go with Debian Squeeze. That seems to be the best choice for now. To be clear about the question, I'm using linux operating systems for the past 7 years. The errors are not specific nor recurring, nor even device specific.

If a modern linux OS is crashing then it will likely /var/log whats going wrong. The phrasing of this issue seems to indicate lack of experience or familiarity with the linux os or unix model of os. Thats no problem if you are keen to learn the principles of the OS you will get better at using the

I've used Debian (lenny+squeeze) for many years now in Python/Django development, and it's served me well. But, you can easily turn a system into a nervous wreck if you don't configure it properly, or use "bleeding edge" without fully knowing whats happening. All distros of Linux are a learning

Hi All, Firstly, I am not here for a distro war. I was using ubuntu 9.10, and then switched to fedora 14 and then to fedora 15. IMHO, It seems that they all were quite unstable. (Many times it hung up on my Dell and HP machines - may be driver issues, still I don't want that too.) I would really
