what flavors of Linux do you prefer? I've used several of them..in fact I have a box of CD's in my office with different versions right now.. lately I've been using Ubuntu a lot...before that it was Xandros...and Fedora...with some Mandrake tossed in... I did have a SuSe server running for years at work that was used for a PHP knowledge base so other techs in my dept could keep the flow of information going between the group...that server ran 24/7 for a little over 3 years without a reboot
