Re: [Staffslug] Distro for home server
Hi Jon,
Debian Etch ought to be all you need for a home server, if you need any
help getting it to new tricks let me know... might include windows
shares, remote desktop, ftp, web server, whatever really. Personally I
think apt is far more efficient than Yum and the pre-configured packages
are easier to get your head around.
However if you have to go with a rpm based distro I'd say CentOS is the
lesser of two evils :P
Sincerely...

Hey guys hope everything is ok.
Since my main desktop gave up the ghost (don't ask) I decided to get a
laptop and ended up with an asus eeepc. It makes for a refreshing change
and I'm all happy again. Anyway I recently got to thinking tonight that
I'm now bored again. The only thing I can think of messing around with
is my home server. It handles downloads etc (even more important now
that my eee has very little space for downloading. I current run Debian
etch and am thinking of giving something like fedora a try or would I be
wiser to try something like centos?
Thanks in advance
Jon.
