Default I'm switching over to Linux, got some q's - 30-01-2004

Well, I'm finally taking the plunge. I completely removed Windows 2K from one of my servers to make room for Linux. Now it is just sitting there begging me to make it work again.

I have two goals: to learn Linux well enough to do my own installations and configurations, and to convert all my software over to the Linux platform, that includes php, MySql and C++ coding.

This will be a major effort because I've only a very limited knowledge of Linux, however I have worked with computers and multiple OS's over a number of years, so I expect (pray) I'll learn quickly.

My first question is what Linux should I be using? It seems Redhat no longer supports Linux and that Debian may be the route to go http://www.debian.org/

Any help and advice is appreciated !
