Hello all,
Here I wish to discuss about, our need and I wish to get solutions for that.
Need: A server capable of serving 1 - 3 websites, 100-200 e-mail accounts.We dont need Dot net or ASP based and even JAVA based applications to run.We need only PHP/perl with mysql based simple applications to run in those websites.
In hand: we have an AMD Athlon64 2800+ processor, 512 MB DDR ( if needed we can upgrade), 80GB IDE HDD, 256 Kbps ADSL connection with a static IP ( we wish to upgrade it to 512kbps when the need comes).
Objective:
The first and immediate need is to choose a stable, secure OS to satisfy our need. I have the following options.
SOLARIS 10/ open solaris
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
Linux: Debian
Linux: Fedora core4
Linux: OpenSUSE
Linux: Mandriva
Linux: CentOS
Debian GNU/Linux
Can you help me to choose from the best OR If you wish to offer any other addition. After we come a conclusion about OS, we can discuss about software tobe used.
First thing is "What should be the server OS platform" to choose?
Thanks for thinking to help
