Suggestions for a distro
I want to build a server and I'm looking for suggestions on the best distro. I want classic LAMP configuration (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP/perl/python). I'm most familiar with Redhat/Fedora but I'm also comfortable with SuSE and Mandriva. I would consider Ubuntu or others. I'm looking for a distro where I can install off DVD onto a clean box and have all the pieces in place including support libraries and drivers instead of having to go out and hunt down, then download all the pieces. Easy package management is also important. Anybody out there have suggestions? Thanks!
