I do intend to use them all.....but at different times. I'm going to be setting up a server that I will need to be able to access from outside my home (Ubuntu Server maybe?) but now you've mentioned CentOS...I might go that route instead, I'll also want something that can act as a file server....holding all videos...LibreOffice Writer / Calc / Impress documents along with various media (music.....pdfs....etc) And finally I'll be testing things out with the laptops that I have....and finaly I'm going to have the "GrandMaster" machine which will be an my own personal machine that will do everything I need it to (edit - create music software files....create/edit graphic files etc...) BTW I play guitar and am looking to have a little "studio-in-a-box" for my personal machine.....thanks for the info...!!
finally it does not matter what distribution you chosse
if you are lazy with updates use a LTS if you need recent software use something like Fedora
samba, netatalk, ssh, apache, mysql... it's all the same
Really......so then I could "theoretically" use just ONE distribution throughout the entire home network I have planned??.....wow! I was under the impression that different distros...did and allowed different things?....or am I just stoopid?...LoL!
how comes this impression?
i am running fedora since many years as workstations and also for routers, firewalls, webservers, telephony servers, dns-servers, web-servers and all other things you imagine a computer can do
why not?
there is the linux kernel and a bundle of opensource software finally they are all the same and differs in their version and upgrade intervals - but there is not single fundamental difference between running sama on fedora, suse, ubuntu....
