Hey All-

With about two weeks of free time coming up and access to a box no one is using I want to experment with Linux. Unfortunatly I still have to work off the box so I need to have access to Win2k. I'm looking to Dual boot Win2k and a version of Linux.. the Linux will be setup to be used mostly as a web server with apache, my sql and php. I have the possiblity of getting about 1/2 a gig of mostly txt data so it will need some space. I have a 40 gig hd and 640mb (box is being used to store ram). Do to the fact that this will eventually be on a network I'm also looking for a fairly secure setup. So after that long winded lead up my two questions basically boil down to...

1) Is there a certain Linux (ie redhat, mandrake ect... ) that would be more suited to my purposes?

2) Does anyone have a particular recommendation on the amount of space for the varying partitions.. or recommendations on just the linux partitions.

Not sure if this is the exact place to put this so thank you for any help or recommendations you can offer.

Sarah
