I am about to set up a new venture using Linux servers. I have used everything from slackware to debian to ubuntu for personal and non-public server use, but I haven't set up any "live" servers with Linux since Redhat switched to Fedora Core. The servers will be running a php web service, with a mySQL back end. I will not be the main admin for these boxes, as I will be pretty busy with the business end of the venture. I am looking for a distro that has as automated a update/patch installation system as possible, whether free or less than $500/server/year. Also, it would be helpful if the update system was GUI based. Any suggestions about what you are using in a production environment would be really helpful. As a follow-on question, I plan to pick up a few Dell Poweredge 2650 dual xeon systems on ebay. Any thoughts on these systems running linux? Thanks, Brent Friedman
