I'm willing to use the following build as server where running bitcoind server, MySQL and PHP:
MOBO: ASRock 775i945gz
CPU: Intel Celeron D 347
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS or Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX
RAM: Corsair XMS2 DHZ 2x1GB
SSD: Samsung Evo 120 GB
There I'll receive/send bitcoins only through RPC commands and save tx infos on database (all of this done via PHP and C++).
What OS would you recomend me to use for best performances and security?
debian or freeBSD.
p.s. take lubuntu instead of ubuntu (your first choice) if you don't increase RAM and need GUI.I heard many times of Lubuntu in the past but never tried it, I'll give it a look since it fits my specs and needs if it's as you say.
By the way I worked on FreeBSD (since 7.x) for 5 years or so, but I'm not willing to continue using it because it starts being frustrating
stick with debian.
That's my second choice right after Ubuntu
may I ask, why something like Ubuntu attracting some many people over Debian. what is advantage of usage?
Because a friend of mine will work on the server with me but, unfortunately, he isn't very familiar to Linux.
