I was just wondering what people's concensus was about this. What is the best distro for a web server, and why? I have heard people rave about Debian's stability. What about others? What about desktops? SuSE is looking really good these days, but I haven't anything other than SuSE, Mandrake, and Knopix. Suggestions?

You probably would not want to use Knoppix for this, because it installs a host of software you will never need for a web server. When it comes to Linux, I would vote for Slackware. You might also want to reconsider your choice, and use OpenBSD, FreeBSD or NetBSD which all make excellent servers.

I guess most distro's are good for it aslong as you use stable packages (so not the bleeding edge). debian (woody that is) slackware redhat gentoo All good for server purphas imo A server does not need to have a gui so you can keep it nice and small (configuration can be done by console or webmin) (btw bsd != linux) non-linux and best for server imo (free that is) freebsd But the distro you use is not that important you can set all linux distros the way you want so to be honnoust there is not a reall best linux distro for webhosting imo. It all lays in your hands I used, debian, slack, redhat and now I have gentoo as workstation aslong as you use stable packages you will be fine

The best distro for desktop and novice users is MAdrake cuase comes with a lot of software and drivers, usually u can use all the hardware in the PC (even winmodems) and came with a lot of utilities to configure the PC very nice.
