Hi All
I want create a small virtual machine running linux with pretty much only Apache2 to serve some static web content and proxy on to other servers. The idea being this is the only internet facing instance I have. Any suggestions for a small easy to use linux distor?
Ubuntu Server?
He said small. And I'd much prefer debian to ubuntu on a server. In fact a minimal install of debian would probably do. Then run lighthttpd rather than apache and tinyproxy.
If really small is required, then there are a bunch of options such as puppy, or tinycore (DSL as was I believe).
