H@L0_F00 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Anybody have any recommendations for a *somewhat* n00b friendly Linux distro that I can run Apache, OpenSSH, ProFTPD, and maybe Squid on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Almost any can be used as server, but you could go for the more common if you like My personal preference would be debian, but things like fedora or centos are good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can lvl up and become "teh 1337 h4xx0r" :P and should I use Ubuntu server or Desktop? The server won't have too much traffic. Probably < 10 ppl a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The desktop version should be enough then. In any case, what makes them different (server and desktop versions) are the tool sets, the server version brings them preload on installation but that doesn't mean that you can't install them in a desktop base.
