In light of this board's rule stating "no BSD vs. Linux vs. Windows or similar threads," is the following post legal (can I post it)?
Hi. I'm thinking about obtaining a web server for business purposes and I want to learn to administer and maintain the server myself. I need to be able to use perl and cgi in an environment with ssl/tls security for my own and my clients' websites. I need room to experiment with such protocols as tcp/ip and http, and of course ssl. I'm looking for recommendations as to what kind of server operating system to use in light of these needs-I'm thinking of running Apache as my web server and unix/lenix as my operating system but there's such a whirlwind of OS versions out there, I don't know where to start. Any advice will be appreciated.
