RE: Scrap test server. - Codine - 10-15-2009
I agree with Omni, CentOS would probably be your best bet

What difference does it really make?
Linux is linux. Unless there is better serpositorys for CentOS?

Each distro of Linux is different from others.

The core is the same yes? The kernel.
Now If its a server then you are going to need to run things like apache, sql and php etc.
These are also all standard components.
So my point again. If its a server and not a desktop then whats the difference?
RE: Scrap test server. - Alex - 10-18-2009
The largest difference will be the repos and default applications. Like Debian waits a lot longer to adds new versions of programs to their main repos because they stress stability. While Ubuntu will usually have the latest and may sacrifice stability in doing so.
RE: Scrap test server. - Grizzly - 10-18-2009
No, the core itself isn't always the exact same. Different distros have different setting tweaked a certain way.

Well its scrap. So anything from 64mn to 128mb of ram. no idea the motherboard yet. but its not gonna be high class. I need a lightweight one. I have a freebsd live server downstairs, and its old.... So thats a little more.

Gentoo server :3
RE: Scrap test server. - Omniscient - 12-04-2009
Yeah Gentoo is another good distro. You can even do their BSD version.
