-I- Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 what you probably want is a rather basic linux setup. with webmin (for server managament) and WEB-CP:// for webhosting managament... if you look at irc controlls there are quite a few webmin modules for those kinds of task... what the best setup is or best distro i leave it up to the *REAL* pro's btw you might want to look around at <this> website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBHoenig Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I agree with the suggestion of Debian. It is the best OS out there when it comes to server use. I personally prefer Ubuntu on the desktop, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 That makes sense because Ubuntu is based on Debian and aimed at desktop use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
