Jon My question was/is genuine. It's not my intention to start a flamewar. However, I will search thru the archives for past opinions/suggestions. I apprecaite your response.
I am new to LINUX and somewhat dismaid/confused about the various distributions. I'd like to set up a LINUX-based server for mail, web, personal commerce, etc. Since this is for personal purposes, I decided on LINUX based system because [1]it's free and [2]my perceived notion that it's more stable than windows environment. Being new to LINUX, a GUI-based system like GNOME adds some convenience but ultimately is not necessary. BASH command line-based system is sufficient. I [initially] chose UNBUNTU simply because it was handed to me to try out. After a couple of weeks of playing around, I discovered a wealth of information as well as 'choices'.
