| Im getting an older Compaq Proliant server from my step dads boss later on today, or if not, sometime this week, all I know about it is that it has smart array RAID 3x9GB SCSI drives...ill get the other specs later.
what im wondering is a couple things. What Linux or unix distro should I put on the thing? and What do you think I should use it for? the guy said its a good linux/bsd hacking box, although im not really into hacking, so that probably wont happen...and I dont really have enough bandwidth or transfer to use it as a webserver, since I have a Cable internet connection and only around 10GB of upload per month. so im just thinking ill either install a linux distro, and mess around with linux or unix, and also open it up and take a look at the hardware, or use it as a dev machine, always wanted to try development on linux.

| Well, I know that Debian, Red Hat, BSDs are nice for servers. | |||

| I was either thinking Red Hat, Ubuntu, or FreeBSD, in that order of what I want more. it will probably be Red Hat. | |||

| Ya, Ubuntu is Debian based and BSDs are very secure. Dunno how Red Hat costs though.
Well, comming from DistroWatch, the price vary between 180 $ and 2500 $ US. (edited by Cornellius on 03-21-06 04:47 PM) |

| yeah...although im pretty sure the person im getting the server from has red hat, since ive heard him say thats what hes used, or uses, maybe I can get it from him, or ill either use Ubuntu, or even Fedora.
Edit: Well I got it last night, and installed Fedora Core 4 on it, it has 2 550mhz processors, 256MB Ram, and 11GB of free space, time to mess around with it  (edited by dcahrakos on 03-22-06 12:18 PM) |
