Hello Friends,

I would like to set up a new development server for a Linux distro. So can any one tell me that which is the best recommended development server for a Linux distro? Does any one have any idea about about this one? Kindly suggest me your views regarding to this one.

Thanks in advance.

Clark Networks has announced the availability of the first beta release of ClarkConnect 5.0, a CentOS-based distribution designed for servers and firewalls: "ClarkConnect 5.0 Beta 1 is now available. Beta 1 is certainly more stable, but it is still very buggy. The new bandwidth and QoS manager is the only missing feature. The significant changes are that features in better working order; Samba PDC/Simple Server modes are now working; user import is now available. Due to the nature of the new user/LDAP architecture, we recommend waiting until beta 2 before installing 5.0 in a real-world environment.

The distros I have used so far are Rad Hat 9, SuSE 9.1, Knoppix, and PCLinuxOS. The last 2 are just boot cds. I don't know much of how the others such as gentoo and debian work cause. I haven't tried them. I was looking to setup a server that would host files and possibly a website sometimes. I would also like to try doing roaming profiles, but as far as I know, Linux doesn't have support for hosting Windows XP and Windows Xp Home (which is what I am running) doesn't have support for them either (unless there is a workaround).

As far as i'm concern CentOS and Free BSD performs are some good otions which you can try for.
