I would always go with the newest version if you have the chance. More bugs have been fixed, more updates will be available longer, etc.
Also check out CentOS - it's basically Red Hat Enterprise Linux without the hefty fee from Red Hat. http://www.centos.org for more info, downloads, etc.
Also, PHP is up to 4.4.2 I think.

Have you even used fedora? Don't knock an OS just because you like its alternative.. provide reasons why he should use debian other then "because I like debian". If you want to suggest Debian that's perfectly acceptable but the "forget fedora" part is what I have a problem with.a94060 wrote:do debian,forget fedora. i been using debian its very good if you want to enjoy new packages.
Fedora also has a netinstall image: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/f ... s/boot.isoa94060 wrote:i used fedora 1 time,i think i like the debian because i can just use the netinstall image rather than dling all 4 of the ISOS.

SuSE strikes me as more a deskop distro. By default it's installed with a desktop environment and the package management with YaST is pretty poor IMO. I used to uses SuSE a lot before I experimented with other distros.derchris wrote:There is no "Best Server OS".
You should use what you like.
I for example are using SuSE Linxu on my Root, and I'm more than satisfied.
