I agree with armin. The less people get
dependent on MDK/Suse/Redhat the better(user
beware: ones distro is like ones religion,
discussing can result in heated debates).

If you have any experience working in DOS
then setting up debian/gentoo shouldn't be
much of a problem. Debian now has a
graphical installer (mentioned on
distrowatch) and gentoo has a well written
install guide. You really can't go wrong
with either. There is no better way to
learn linux than installing one of these
distros.

Hi Nick

You need to set the criteria for evaluatiing "BEST".

We could be subjective without any criteria.

E.G. just Apache and PHP, I would say go with Linux From Scratch. That is, build your own, then put it on a 386 I picked up on the road side. Is it the best? It runs on a 386, 5MB HDD, 4MB RAM.
