Default Re: Easiest linux distro for a dom3 server?

They are all great. Personally, Ive used most of them. At the moment Im using Debian on both of my servers. I like that its non-commercial, it supports the GNU projects so I go ahead and buy my install discs from them, and it maintains itself really easily. I also love the "catalog" program. If I decide I want to mess with irc, or a webforum, or wiki, blog, whatever.. then I can open the catalog and find one. Clicking it installs it and any other programs it needs to have in place. Its also easy to uninstall things. Not searching the net for installs that come from unkown sources has saved me alot of headaches.

Oh yeah, I think that Johan (the linux programmer) uses Debian also so that might also fit into "easiest linux for a dom3 server"
