What was a bad link? http://cdimage.debian.org/ seems fine from here. However, http://cdimage.debian.org/ftp-mirrors.html has a list of mirrors of the CD images. I'm sure one of them will work for you! Asking here, the majority of people will obviously tell you to use Debian :) If you really want an objective answer it might be worth trying a more neutral forum like one of the comp.os.linux.* newsgroups. However, Debian - whether the current stable version (2.1 or "slink") or the soon-to-be-stable version (future 2.2 or "potato") has a wide selection of server programs that Windows clients can use, such as samba for file sharing and the usual round of servers for more standard services like WWW, FTP, mail, news, and so on. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
