Easiest linux distro for a dom3 server?

[NickW]

I decided to switch my Fedora Core 3 server, which I'd long used for Dom2 hosting, over to ubuntu for Dom3.

Talk about silly easy.

Basically threw the install CD in and clicked yes or next a bunch of times and next thing I know I had a nice functional linux system ready for a Dom3 install.

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"

I use Ubuntu actually. But most distros should work fine, Dominions doesn't use anything Ubuntu specific.

Yeah but sometimes the answers are easier to get if the OS matches the devs. That is, as long as all other factors are equal.
