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...
