Swad Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hey, I'm just curious what you all think is the best *nix environment to run a server on. This server runs on Debian, and we've been very happy with it (our uptime goes back to August). Also, let us know what your favorite server admin resources/links/secrets/shortcuts etc are!

quixos Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) http://www.slackware.com/ if you must use gnome (osX people seem to) there are a few dedicated gnome on slackware projects. i use (when i go through a gnome phase, grrrrr Havoc Pennington!) Dropline Gnome, compiled for i686. http://dropline-gnome.sourceforge.net/ Edited January 20, 2006 by quixos Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7136-the-server-thread-best-distros-resources/#findComment-45257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I started developing sites again so jusy for trips, I decided to install Ubuntu Server and ISPConfig (GPL Control Panel Application) on my sandbox. I'm very happy with the size and alot less bloatware and rescource utilization than some web servers I have used, including Debian, Slack, FC, and especially RH.

Swad Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 That's interesting that so many of you use slack. It's a great OS, but it's not the one that comes to mind when I first think of web servers, ya know?

39thRonin Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've always like debian - especially when it come time to update software. Other than that, I like one of the BSD systems (Open, Net, Free), as they are fast AND secure. Plus, BSD is the base for MacOS Why not keep it all in the family?
