Re: [PLUG] Suggest a Host

[LeRoy Cressy <leroy@lrcressy.com>]

The basic Linux commands are the same.  The only differences between 
distributions are the system utilities used to setup and upgrade the 
system.  Like Redhat uses the rpm package management and debian uses 
dpkg with apt as the front end.

What it boils down to is what packages are installed on the system, like 
what editors, mail server, web server, database, and whatever is needed 
for the cliants needs.  For web hosting, is php installed and if so what 
version?  These are questions that you should ask to make your decision.
