Awww c'mon... That sort of attitude belongs on the Ubuntu forums, not
here.

I don't want a how-to, I want some advice from seasoned geeks on what to
use and what works best before I dive into spending hours battling it.
Once I establish an idea of *what* to use, then I'll get my teeth sunk
into it. At THAT point I might need a how-to :)

I appreciate the value of the vital combination of advice and
experience. I'm young, I don't know a lot about this game compared to
most people here and I only ask that you offer me honest advice.

I've got a rare change to start afresh with a new server and an OS of my
own choice at $work and I am taking ever step necessary to get all the
right things in the right box.
