There is nothing wrong with Debian at all I've had no problems with it at all it's really been a breeze to use. I'd like to give something different a try. and hey if it doesnt work out I can always go back to Debian.

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...
