   I figure I'd install a light weight server via #virtualbox and setup a #lamp server. Which distribution is best? !linux

     @fergatron I'm gonna jump right in and say !debian but I'm obsessed with it :p

     @fergatron give !Parabola GNU/Linux a try. Bleeding edge stable software and 100% freedom.

     @fergatron: depends on your experience. I'd say you probably can't go wrong with Ubuntu Server for the large community and ease-of-use

     @pharnavaziani this server is a local test. I'm learning LAMP. I just need something light weight that doesn't interfere w/ my main desktop.

     @fergatron: hmm....I'm not an expert, but I do know that Arch Linux and Gentoo are supposed to be pretty small and lightweight.
