[olug] Distro recommendation

[Mike Peterson]

Will it be an internal only web server?
Will you be using Samba for the file server duties?
Have you looked at the link I posted earlier this week?
It was www.centos.org.
It is based on Red Hat Enterprise ES 3 Update 3.

Why do you say Fedora is a resource hog?
