Preferred Linux Flavor for Web Server?

[RtX]

I have setup a few of my clients on Xubuntu 6.06 LTS. They required a GUI to
admin the server so Xubuntu was it. Still running great - no complaints. I
think the only thing I want an X-windows GUI for is Synaptic. Makes software
maintenence much easier than working with Aptitude. It's better from a CLI
standpoint, but still not as easy to use as Synaptic.

I agree with not using Gentoo. Gentoo is cool - fastest desktop I ever ran.
It simply got to be a pain when 25 updates came out and I was finding my
machine compiling software for 8 hours instead of using it to get my work
done. Not good.

BTW - Sorry about the top post. :-0
