Linux Which distro for a dedicated http server/ router?

I'm currently running win XP on my server, after having given up on using SuSE (for some reason i couldn't get it to work as a router, no matter what i did), and although i've had absolutely no problems with it, i want to go back to something unix based anyway. So which distro/os would you suggest? I was planning on using slackware, but then i saw that tsl was actually designed purely for servers, although it looked rather complicated and unfriendly!

 

i used redhat 9 the first time then switche to mandrake 9.2 becouse redhat would fun mt fan on high ALL the time. mandage to get a working server going both times using litespeed http://litespeedtech.com/ website in sig.

 

Was using Redhat 9 but seeing as they are stopping support for it I changed to fedora 1 at the start of december 2003 and i've have no problems yet.

 

Download e-smith SME server as its free and is set up as file/printer and router out of the box. get it here

 

Try IPCOP- its free, easy to setup and I've never had any problems with it.

He wanted a http server too.

 

debian/free bsd.. or if you're feeling lucky... gentoo


all free if you have a good internet connection (legitimately too!!!)

 

FreeBSD-4.8, Slackware. Gentoo is on my list of things to try. I didn't get on well with debian at all, ugh...

fBSD/Slack =

 

I'm now using TSL, it installed far more easily than i expected (couldn't get slack to install at all!) and seems to be working pretty well.
