I have heard here that Ubuntu is probably the best for beginners; however, Fedora Core is also easy to learn. But unfortunately I can only choose from the below as its a setup on lycos dedicated servers
Debian 3.0 (Woody)
Debian 3.1 (Sarge)
RedHat Fedora Core 2
RedHat Fedora Core 3
Mandriva LE 2005 (Mandrake)
RedHat 9.0
If Debian what one sarge or woody or maybe red hat Keep in mind while not stupid I have been on a coldfusion setup untill I crossed over to the dark side.
ha ha ha

Ubuntu is a good distro but mainly for desktops. If you want server software I would go with Fedora but a newer core than 3! RH9 would be ok but it is also too old. See if lycos has an updated list or get a host that is up to date!

Sarge is the only one still supported. Sarge will probably be supported for another two years. That is when the current stable etch will become oldstable. Oldstable gets supported until the current stable becomes old stable, and sarge just became oldstable last spring. There are generally 2.5 years between new releases with Debian. I am talking about updates and so-forth and so on. Also most lessons you may have learned from Ubuntu apply to Debian since Ubuntu is Debian based. Ubuntu is just a prettyfied version of Debian.
I would choose sarge.
