Funny thing is that SGI have rpms for RedHat XFS install... XFS is a
server file system is it not?
RedHat can be made into a server OS it just takes some work. Read the
excellent http://www.linuxdoc.org/links/p_books.html#securing_linux
I use it because it was the first CD in a 6 cd set I bought. I have
tried others (I ran Suze for about 10 months on a server and I found
that to be worse...). Debian and Slackware have a reputation of being
too hard to install.
I would personnaly choose FreeBSD for the PostgreSQL server and RedHat
as the client workstation.
