Try Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 for the Powerful and reliable server.It has so much new features Like Netdump,Clustering server,Best for Database specially Oracle 9i,New firewalling arptables. This server is for huge environment.In karachi many companies Like PARCO,Mashriq Bank are migrated windows to RH LINUX AS 2.1 and now many companies are thinking seriously for migrating Linux.So I, recommend u to make a server on RH Linux AS 2.1.

Redhat linux 9 is ok

i dont think Red hat Advance server CD will be easy aviable from market

Dear zinux,
Salam,

Red Hat Advanced Server is not an OpenSource... as well as Suse. If you want to make normal server not an Hosting Server... I perfer you to use Red Hat Linux 9.0.... if you want to make your server like hosting server, shell hosting server then i prefer you to OpenBSD its also not free but if you can buy RHE then i prefer you to buy this one or if you want to do the same job with an OpenSource then try FreeBSD

Best Regards.

if some thing is better and free then why u dont go for it.

just use slackware, debain,gentoo or freebsd.

^^ they are good, but you their installation is not step by step but rather you have to install everything by command line, and if anything goes wrong then crap ...
