Which OS?
Hello once again
Right now I'm running Redhat 7.2, but I'm having a few problems.
I've been reading a lot about which Linux distro to use, and I just wanted your input.
I need:
PHP
MySQL
Perl
Apache
Sendmail
Java support
Star Office
Preferred:
Gnome
Micq
AIM
I'm mainly using this as a webserver, but I want a graphical interface for other uses, such as regular web surfing.

They all will have what you need. Some might have to be downloaded and compiled separately. Mandrake is the most popular, followed by RedHat, SUSE. I personally prefer KDE over Gnome which is the RedHat default. If you already have everything you need in Redhat 7.2, there is not much reason to change. The only one that may do the desktop better out of the box is Mandrake.

I think I'll stick with Redhat 7.2 but I just crashed it
I'll reinstall it.... hopefully everything will work this time
