I am just about to a dedicated server in servint (2.4ghz, 1gb ram, 120gb raid) and am unsure which operating system to get. My options are:

- Redhat 9
- FreeBSD

I am not wanting cpanel. I have quite a good knowledge of linux but am wondering if its worth going with FreeBSD. The server will be running apache and php with a very write intensive mysql database.

Answers on a postcard!

EDIT: FreeBSD is release 4.9 (stable I think)

i will go with Redhat 9 :D

FreeBSD all the way! ;)

How about FreeRedHat

Redhat9, would never use anything other than that. Just my main preference.

RedHat because of it's total open source and also because it is easy to use.
