Hi,

	Please I don't want to start a war, it's just a (silly, stupid
:-) simple question.

	Which distro seems to be more apropriate to use in a small
corporate environment (~ 5 Linux servers, some NT/2000 server and 500
windows clients) for a company that can't or don't want to buy a RHEL
license? Debian? Fedora? Slackware?

	Ok, it's demand a more detailed investigation, but some
restrictions:
		- if the IT staff can't access the servers on 24x7
schedule (just 8x5 locally);
		- if the IT staff can't be training on a regular basis,
they must learn everything by themselves;
		- some servers are exposed to Internet as mail, dns, web
servers.
	
	Well, my answer is Fedora :-) But I would like to get more
answers.



I would say go with Fedora if you don't want to go through a learning curve on the others.. For your mail/web/DNS systems you may want to check out Trustix (trustix.net).. Its an RPM based sistro aimed specifically at secure server functions like mail/web/DNS applications and minimum install is only about 90MB which is awesome.. I am testing it for use on a couple of my servers..

Note: Trustix has NO gui.. if you are totally clueless on the command line or don't want to learn then Trustix is not for you.. :)

Later..
