Hi

As a Linux virgin, this is my first post in here, and I need some advice.

Thanks for all the advice.

From what everyone has said I think my best route will be to start with a Ubuntu type
installation to get the feel of things, then move to a Debian base for the long term
stability once I see how it all comes together.

As has been said I've got nothing to lose (apart from time) by trying the various
distros, and as its a project anyway, time isn't an issue.

I've also had SME Server suggested to me http://www.smeserver.org which might be
worth a look - has anyone any experience of it?

Again thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply
