You'll probably get a lot of opinions on this one, personally having been in pretty much the exact same boat I'd suggest look at Redhat and Suse, at the end of the day they're two of the most widely supported distros and software is readily available packaged as rpms which is very useful if you're on the learning curve.
FWIW I started with Redhat and when I knew (slightly) more I started afresh with Suse as it seems a little leaner if you want a minimal installation and will be using the console rather than X. regards, Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Grant Baxter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 12:55 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: OT - Easiest *nix to set up > > > I'm planning on setting up a mail server so I only have one SA > installation to maintain instead of three. > > I've used Windows only for the past twenty or so years.
