Not to host dozens of websites - but to host crucial servers. Minimalism: a Debian base install is tiny compared to a RH/CentOS base. You can add individual packages easily. In my (limited) experience, a RH base may pull in 900M (including unnecessary X Windows) of packages versus Debian's 200M. Security: As the admin, you can control services more readily. [Though Debian base install does include NFS, which you'll want to remove]. dpkg --get-selections > myfilelist ... move to different machine ... dpkg --set-selections < myfilelist which will work pretty well even if you move architectures between, say, Sun and x86 :) All IMHO - Just my 0.02 Euros Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
