I am running Postfix with SA, Procmail, and Webmin on Red Hat 8.0.  I want

I don't want to use SuSE, Mandrake, or the like.  Nothing against the
distros but I just want a free OS.  If anyone would care to take a little
time to provide an opinion, I would really be appreciative.  I am most
interested in a free OS that is stable, fairly easy to maintain, has some
method for duplication on multiple hosts (thinking of RH Kickstart), fair
response to security updates, and of course good access for
SA/Postfix/Webmin updates.  I have never used any of the BSD family so I
would appreciate an understanding of learning curve.  I know this is a lot
of input needed and maybe more than most are willing to respond to so
whatever you can provide for input would be great!


I'd highly recommend FreeBSD. The ports collection will make your life
easier, particularly in comparison with RPMs. I use FreeBSD with
Sendmail/MIMEDefang/SpamAssassin, and it works wonderfully. It's also a
fast install, so we just maintain two machines with an identical
configuration manually. Not an ideal solution, but it works for us.


Don't forget Gentoo (http://www.gentoo.org) - it might be what you're looking for. :)
