    Hello :).
    I have a Dell Poweredge 850 and am going to colocate it soon.
    I need it to run a webserver.
    Don't worry, i've done my research, take a look at these three links:
    which one is the best option? :confused:
    Booting with Ubuntu for A and B, any linux for C, but Fedora C5 preferable for C

    A)- http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06
    B)- http://www.cjfay.com/lamp.html
    C)- http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

    XAMPP would be the simplest to install i guess, but would it work?

    Thanks a million for your feedback in advance :)

    B option would seem to be your best, IMO, but if you're going with CentOS 4.4 and using it for gaming, I am not too sure how it will perform. CentOS 4.4 is good as a regular web server though...I still would prefer Linux, though!
