Re: [GENERAL] Hardware recommendations

[Barry S]

Gentoo, in my opinion, makes a poor production platform. Others have had 
success with it, but I would recommend 1 of the big 3 'stable' linux 
platforms out there:

* RHES
* SUSE
* Debian
As far as hardware goes, IBM has some nice x86 intro servers that fit 
into that price catagory.

Does anyone have recommendations for a) Hardware and b) Distro. I am 
inclined to use Gentoo, but that's only because I'm used to it.
