Selecting an Open Source Operating System

| Sample server FOSS operating systems

| * CentOS
| * FreeBSD
| * Red Hat
|
| Special Purpose Operating Systems
|
| There are a number of special purpose FOSS
| operating systems that offer bundles of pre-
| configured applications with graphical
| installer and management tools. Some of the
| most common special purpose operating
| systems are for file serving, firewalls, and
| rescue CDs. They're usually based on an
| existing general purpose desktop or server
| operating system, but with the installation
| modified in such a way that a certain set of
| software is installed. Management in special
| purpose operating systems is usually very
| specific and tends to emphasize the system's
| particular function. Many areas of
| management are not readily accessible
| through the default management interface. On
| the bright side, special purpose FOSS
| operating systems may provide a quick and
| easy way to fulfill a specific need â if you
| can find one that accomplishes what you
| require.
|
| Sample special purpose FOSS operating
| systems include:
|
| * Knoppix Rescue CD
| * FreeNas Free NAS file server
| * Smoothwall Firewall

Best Linux Distro for Web Server
,----[ Quote ]
| Best Linux Distro for Web Server: If you are
| planning to build a web hosting company or
| simply host your own website at home, then
| it is best to use Linux as your operating
| system. Linux servers have been known to be
| extremely reliable and rarely crashes so
| there's less downtime. Linus Torvalds has
| once been quoted as saying "How do you power
| off this machine?" when upgrading the site
| "linux.cs.helsinki.fi", and after using the
| machine for several months.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
