Hi,
(let the fight begin)
I'm going to set up a new la{firebird,mysql}p/mail/ftp server in a near future
and I wonder which distro I should choose...
I have already a box (doing the same kind of services) running debian sarge,
which is fine, but 2 things bother me with sarge:
- sarge is outdated (kernel 2.6.8, php only V4, no mysql 5)
- the new release (etch) will (hopefully) be out in 6 month
So I would end up installing an outdated distro, which is only 1 year old by
now... How long will debian provide security updates for sarge?
I have a strong temptation to go with ubuntu dapper, which I have made good
experiences with. Dapper is up-to-date, feels good, and has 5 years security
updates for the server version.
Only backdraw is that my colleagues are debian die-hards and seem not yet to
be pleased so much with the new kid on the block...
Also, most of our firewalls in the wild run sarge, so we have a very good
knowledge about that specific release.
Which distro, sarge, dapper or any other, would you recommend for this
purpose?
Best regards,
Yves
