Which one do you recomend? I use it as a gateway, http, pop3, smtp, dns, nis, ftp server. Those are basic stuff, so I guess they will run just the same in any distro. I can't use Tru64 because I can't pay for it. So, which distro do you recomend, I only need it to have a rather new kernel (2.4 or 2.6 if possible) and I need it to have gcc. I'll update all other packages if available. Thank you very much. Alan Bort.-
