I have see Linus in many different flavors and I have been a faithful user of Windows since Version 2.0 if you can remember that far back. NOw my disolusionmnet of the windows operating system is starting to show (Esp in the server enviroment). It seems to me that everytime I turn around and look at the desktop network switch My server is in a continual state of activity. I shut off the FTP the HTTP and everything else yet somehow someone has either virused my system and put in a backdoor or something. I know this because files on my storage drive are either missing or now damaged. I can't find the intruder and at this point don't care. I want to switch to Linux so that I can secury my files better. I have patched windows 2000 server so often that it seems that it is all that I ever do. Now I want to go to Linux and see if it is the better path to follow. a few things that I need to know are, what is the best Linux flavor to use with SAMBA and is there a good antiVirus package to us with it. I have RedHat 9 and the Samba package distributed with it but I never seem o get it to work the way i want to. Also I do play a lot of MOHAA and would like to setup a game server just for fun. DOes anybody have any Ideas that would work
