[17:18] <moks107> Hi is anybody here
[17:18] <moks107> umm its just that i have a question
[17:18] <moks107> coz i was planning on setting up a server its just that i dont know which distro to select
[17:19] <moks107> the choices ive been choosing from is ubuntu,redhat or arch
[17:19] <moks107> wat do you guys think?
[17:48] <b_wilson> Red Hat.
[17:49] <b_wilson> Wait, is this for work or at home?
[17:55] <moks107> umm for home actually
[17:55] <moks107> so ill still stick wid red hat
[17:55] <moks107> ?
[17:56] <b_wilson> For home maybe you want to use ubuntu, since it wouldn't cost any money.
[18:09] <moks107> hmm yeah i guess so
[18:09] <moks107> wait i taught that red hat was for free also
[18:11] <b_wilson> Free speech, not free beer.
[18:14] <b_wilson> You could use fedora for free.
[18:16] <moks107> lol
[18:16] <moks107> so how are you
[18:16] <moks107> thanks for the tip
[18:16] <moks107> fedora hmmm yeah i was thinking about it
[18:16] <moks107> its just that i prefer gnome GUI
[18:16] <moks107> well i guess ill get started on the download
[18:16] <moks107> thanks
[18:17] <b_wilson> No prob. Personally, I use ubuntu for my home server.
[18:41] <Alvinware> Where's the #ubuntu channel now?
[18:42] <Alvinware> !ubuntu
[18:49] <doctormo__> although a server shouldn't have any GUI
=== doctormo__ is now known as doctormo
[20:47] <bodhi_zazen> moks107: Fedora uses Gnome , kde, or xfce
[20:50] <bodhi_zazen> Server side I have always preferred Centos to Fedora (more stable) , but now I question the viability of Centos moving forward
[20:50] <bodhi_zazen> RHEL may be including some proprietary packages, especially with virtualization technology and there has been some unrest in the Centos community
