I agree totally. Debian in a server configuration is quite easy to get
started with, and is rock solid. My first Linux "test server" (my old
Pentium 133 MHz desktop) way back in 2002 ran Debian Woody. I kept it
running until it died from old age a couple of years ago. Later I fell
in love with Gentoo. But if I'd have to run a server with maximum
stability and uptime, I think that I'd still prefer Debian.
