Which OS would you choose given a free choice

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/15]

Hi guys

I'm getting a new server and was planning on going with Fedora Core 3
and plesk. But it was just suggested that I maybe consider FreeBSD and
DA. Never even heard of DA (about to look it up) but being a Mac user
I must know a little about FreeBSD.

So if you had a free choice of OS and control panel what would you go
with and why.

I need speed, reliability and the perl I'm doing does max my CPU (it's
evil code). Security is of course an issue, Normal web master worries
really.

If it's OK I'll republish this discussion on my server when it's up. I
know this must go through other peoples minds from time to time.

The only thing I won't consider is Microsoft but I doubt many in this
community are that way inclined ;)
