What's the best 64bit Linux for L2J + Apache + MySQL?

CentOS 5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Ubuntu Linux 8
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
Fedora 9

I have 2x Xeon-Clovertown 5345-QuadCore, 16GB RAM and 2x 15k HD.

Linux noob question? If I have 2 gameservers on Linux, how I open/manager this 2 gameservers on SSH? SSH or VNC?

Answer 1 : the best linux is the one you know the best

Answer 2 :
- if you administer it through command line, Debian. you may either use a specific release or debian/stable which will automagically update to the next stable release when available.
- If you administer through graphic interface, I'd go to Fedora.
- Ubuntu install s***s : you don't have to choose what you install and a lot of extra junk will be installed (you don't need an office suite on a server for example)
- If you may use RHEL, it's good because it's a commercial distribution with a good support...
- I'd avoid CentOS as it's basically a rebranded Fedora... better use the real thing (same for Debian/ubuntu... better to use Debian)

Anyway, it is not on your list (and it's good), I'd avoid SuSe Linux at all costs. Lots of quirks which make administration uneasy if you don't use THEIR config tools (for example, if you prefer to edit your config files manually)

Ubuntu server is not a bad version, it does not include any of the graphical stuff. Yeah, it may be just a deb clone, but it has a bit more support that is easy to find. Also, it's quite up and coming in the desktop/server world in ease of use
