Linux Distributions

[Glirk Dient]

Which Linux distro is good for setting up a server and learning linux admin? I mostly want something to just learn more about using Linux and getting a server going/networking.

Oh I also need to be able to boot from windows still.

Well, Ubuntu, is an incredibly easy linux distro to install and use....I'm pretty sure it includes the Apache and PHP packages....might want to check on that though.
As far as hardware compatibility goes though, Ubuntu is great...

Edit: Oh, and with the GRUB bootloader (comes with ubuntu) you can easily boot both win and linux.

Thanks for the link. It suggested some other distro...but I went with Fedora Core anyways because I don't want an easy to use distro if im here to learn so I decided to get this and attempt to set the server up with it.

noo, don't use linux, go freebsd or openbsd.
