In case you're a Linux freak like me you might be interested in what Distros I typically role out for different situations. While I have much experience with most every Unix flaver (Solaris, BSD, FreeBSD, HPUX, etc.), I mostly stick with the Linux OS. The distros I use and reasons are listed here:
Ubuntu: General use Linux system, has all the necessary needs, can be a bit bloated. I will install this on most client systems both server and desktop versions
Xubuntu: My choice for Ubuntu variant that has the xfce graphic interface, and is faster than gnome. Old laptops or Dekstops will have a bit of a speed improvement with this, so that's where I'll run it.
Kubuntu: Another Ubuntu variant for those that like KDE. I have some clients that like KDE, so I'll use this.
CentOS: I'll run this OS for almost all of my Asterisk Voice over IP VOIP installations. I may run AsteriskNow, or usually FreePBX Distro, but they'll run on CentOS.
Download a copy of ubuntu today, put it on a USB stick or burn to a CD and boot from it to try if you haven't already. It's great and you don't have to worry about windows Viruses! http://www.ubuntu.com.
