Preferred OS

[South_Raven]

Granted this seems to be designed to work on several platforms but what would be considered the OS of choice or preferred *nix platform?

what are you trying to do
like run an network server with samba
or an AMP box

or just an personal AMP box ??

Basically I figure a LAMP box would be best for me to develop on. Seems an easy way to wipe a test site and create a fresh one rather than reloading a trashed server.

ubutnu or centos
anything that is nice and easy

ubuntu : is quick incase there is a totaly stuff up and reinstall is needed

:)

i normal use a centos in an VM
so i can reload from an clean image when i need to

Thanks for the reply.

My mistake though as I posted this in the wrong thread. It was meant for ISPconfig/General.

Was wanting the general consensus of what was the preferred OS for ISPconfig. I figure its the best way to replicate a shared hosting box to use for site development.

i'm recommending Debian. :)

Tried Debian on my 1U server. MB is a Tyan Thunder LE (S2510). Debian didn't like the hardware at all.
