sentient maybe Trustix Linux is a interesting solution for you it is especially made to run as a server.... http://www.trustix.net/
i like the ClarkConnect idea of using a web browser-based user interface. it ounds easy and bugless. ya know, our computing future is browser-based. it will be owned by google. they are working on languages and development programs for this. also, they are building a superior OS based on linux. they are gonna sell it right next to Windows at Walmart. just a hint of the future.
I am gonna give it a shot actually sometime in the week and will post another thread to let you know what I think if this thread dies
