[plug] opinions on linux distros to use in an internet server box

[Beau Kuiper]

slackware starts up pretty quickly and can be run on a machine < 100 meg
hard drive space.

debian, if you have more space would be better, if you like package
management.

Mandrake and redhat are sort of better for outa the box desktop installs
