A Linux Hosting Machine is the best

I have found that the only way to go for a Web Host is a Linux Machine.
Want a Linux Distro of your own? Check out distrowatch.com .
I prefer a Redhat Distro for a host box myself. But hey, what ever floats your boat.

You can do so much with it. There is so much out there for it.
Don't believe me? then check out freshmeat.net .
They have just about everything for a Linux Box.
