Ok, so here's a list of what I want in order of how I want it:
* Fast. I've heard Slackware is fast, but I haven't heard anything about any other distros.
* Easy to use. I don't need a gui, but I don't want to be lost in the dark with obscure commands and little reference either.
* Easy to update and configure. I've heard apt-get is nice in Debian.
Yeah, pretty much what everyone wants. I've used SuSE and I don't like it. I've tried to install Debian and it gave me such hell I gave up. I've heard Slackware is kinda hard to mess with unless you really know what you're doing (correct me if I'm wrong, though). I've heard nothing but good about Ubuntu, but I've heard more about Slack, Debian, and Fedora. I've also tried Mandrake (now Mandriva), the live version of Ubuntu, Knoppix, and Slax.
As for how much I know... I've upgraded apache and compiled php with 20 some-odd modules. I also ran an IRC server for a bit. If I'm writing php, I do it in vi. That's about as far as my knowledge goes as of yet.
What do I use it for... I host a few websites that probably get 10 to 20 visits a day; I use it as a test-server for the web design work I do; and I mess around with things, just trying to learn.
So, any suggestions?
