I'm soon to be playing with Samba, and hopfully setting up a Domain Controler using it for use by a Church. What favour of linux do you recommend for use in more of a server environment?

I used to use it as a firewall/print server/mail server for my small network running on a Via 1Ghz 384Mb. No GDM but a nice web based Gui.

If you need to be more bleeding edge, Fedora Core should be the ticket.
I'm suggesting it mainly because you're already used to RHEL, so everything should be familiar

Better than spending a fortune on Microsoft Windows Server
Sorry, couldn't help that.
I thought Dell used to have a tie-up with Cannonical (Ubuntu) but I think that might not have related to the PowerEdge Server range, if they did supply these machines with Ubuntu then it would be a sensible choice as Dell themselves might have some support.
I would definitely agree with using an 'older' long term support distribution rather than latest 'state of the art' version, especially on 'not quite new' hardware.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

Quote from: biker955 Another one to have a look at is Clark Connect, it is more of a GP server, email/shared folders/printer sharing OOB. Ver 5 was just released (a couple of months ago) and is based on CenOs 5.
I used to use it as a firewall/print server/mail server for my small network running on a Via 1Ghz 384Mb. No GDM but a nice web based Gui.
I'm using ClarkConnect 4.3 and find it to be excellent - easy to use and well supported on the forum.
It has changed it's name recently and is now known as ClearOS.
