server 2008, are you mad?, maybe if this was a NAS, but for a frikkin webserv?, theres hundreds of distros, i know alot, i just dont know which to pick. it has freeBSD now, i don't like it really, but something similar with no GUI still can work, i just didn't like it for some reason. seemed bit messy and overkillish.

RedHat (and clones such as CentOS and WhiteBox) and Novell/SUSE seem to be popular and solid server choices. The clones offer the same enterprise-class software, just bereft of trademarked logos and names (references to "Red Hat" are removed and artwork/logos that are copywritten to Red Hat are replaced, for example).

CentOS 5 is a very good choice. I use it for my webserver (Y)

But Windows Server 2008 is also a very decent choice for webservers. I personally found Linux a lot easier to setup and use for some odd reason haha. It took me a LOAD of practice to get Windows right -- for Linux, you just gotta know your commands :D

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
