Change...
I'm gonna jump in the deep end and try gentoo
 I've got an old machine i've been given a Pentium 233mhz 64mb sdram, and an ati 2mb graphics card, stuck a 6gb hard drive in it, gonna build myself a replacement server for the windows one i am running at the moment. Had alook at gentoo earlier this morning, it's nice and incredibly more accessible for editing and personalisation / optimisation than SuSe.. Will update as i go through.. Oh and good news, i finish working at my current company on 19th December, however although i do love the people and the work, i will not continue after xmas although given the oppurtunity.. I've been given the oppurtunity to work for a guy i play rugby with who used to work for Sun Microsystems, and earnt his money in the dot com boom, he's independant now and is a contracted IT Admin / Linux Expert / Programmer for tones of companies around norfolk / the east of UK. So i'm gonna go back to college to finish my course off with some seriously good work experience behind me

Are you planning on using Gentoo for a server?
