Compaq DL380 - What Distro?

[Rob Becker]

This is not meant to be a smartass comment, but it may sound that way.
Use whatever distro you are most comfortable supporting.  If you are
familiar with RH 9 then go for it.  If you are the person who will be in
charge of keeping it patched, secured and running, then go with what you
know.  As far as ease of patching, Debian is said to be very nice.  I am
still struggling with getting Debian installed the way I like it so I
can't comment from experience, yet.
Good luck with that server.
Rob

Subject: Compaq DL380 - What Distro? 

My church has received a donation of a Compaq DL380.

Eventually, I would like this server to be the webserver for the church.

I use RedHat 9 at home on a workstation to host part of the web site (so
I
can do PHP and MySQL code), but I'm not a die hard RedHat fan.

What distro would you suggest?

If I could, I would bring the server to tomorrow night's meeting, but
I'm
just a girl and can't lift the darn thing, let alone lug it all the way
to
the meeting.

Thanks in advance,
