yeah my home server runs CentOS
Its a 100% compatible rebuild of RedHat Enterprises source code(whatever the best version is) - only things it doesnt have is Redhat directory server and co.
As its a 100% RH rebuild it means that, if you ever need too, yo ucan run picky apps such as Oracle
It has the usual redhat/fedora stuff, only noticable difference is the removal of redhat trademarks and logos and a slightly modified updater so that it works with public repositories
CentOS is the most stable OS i have ever used and it gets its updates only a matter of HOURS after erdhat release them

I'm deffinately feeling CentOS... is it user friendly?
I have little/no experience with any *nix, but my buddy (who is going to be working on the project as well) has good knowledge on distros such as SuSE and SlackWare

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

yeah... I'd say RAM.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook
yeah a basic centos desktop runs happily on 128mb. Ive run a server on 64 quite happily before as well.
Its got lots of Graphical configuration tools for things like services and webserver and is secure by default. if you have ever installed an os the (graphical) installer should be easy peasy (theres a text one too if you want to use it) - the inly potential problem you may have is with partitioning but you can have it do that all for you by just telling it whether ou want to use the whole disk or just any free space (just remember NOT to choose the server class of install if you want a GUI - choose custom then just tick the boxes for whatver you need it to do)
Not as good looking as suse but more practical (suse is almost as bad as vista with RAM)
CentOS is a very stable system too, not very cuttin gedge but functional nonetheless
Version 4.4 is guaranteed patches for a year and critical security updates until nearly 2012 too

well I think this is the final configuration we're going to go with.
CPU - Pentium Dual-Core 2.4GHz? (800FSB)
RAM - 4GB (4x1024mb) 533Mhz
HDD - RAID 1 on two ~140GB 15,000rpm drives
OS - CentOS
Price: ~$1700
What do you guys think?
We're not quite sure what board software to go with. I like vBulletin (because this site runs off it and DaniWeb pwnz ;P) but I'm also assuming that if you pay for your software it's more user friendly.
Anyone know where I can get tutorials on how to use Apache?

should be more than fine. Are you going to do software or harware RAID?
