Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server Edition will run quite happily. It might be a little slow though.
Was gonna try that - but really want something ultra lean - is that possible?
- and is there a distro that comes pre rolled with LAMP with such requirements? I did a quick Google but the recommendation was from 2002 so figured there must be something more up to date.
Being a noob I don't know where to search :(
Yeah, Ubuntu will be fine if you don't have a GUI running.
Yes, if you use the server install CD rather than the desktop or alternate CD you will end up with just a basic system with hardly anything on.
There's also a 'LAMP' install option if that's what you want and you want to save some time and effort.
You can't get much leaner than DSL ( http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ ), it doesn't have a LAMP server, but you could always apt-get it.
Although I'd probably go with everyone else and use Ubuntu.
kk thanks chaps! :)
I wouldn't go for DSL for a server due to it's slightly odd setup.
I would say an Ubunutu 6.06 LTS Lamp install will run happily on that. Or if you want to try something more 'pure' you could try debian and do it yourself.
FreeBSD FTW or if you aren't as massocistic as me, debian
or ubuntu for an easier time.
I've never had a problem with Debian - Ubuntu just seems to have bloat.
:lol: you would say that. Debian although very stable can be a little stale at times ;)Quote:

if you find ubuntu slow, you might find gentoo much faster, however expect a few hours to build the kernal
Slackware, DSL, Pupply Linux or maybe even the BSDs :)
