[mapguide-users] The "ideal" MapGuide server?

[Marcus Spurkel]

Cool, thanks!  Any reason to prefer or avoid a specific Linux distro?  
I'm trying right now with FC5 but wouldn't mind switching if another is 
more advantageous.  What about Ubuntu or SuSE?  RedHat ES, if it's worth 
it, but something free would obviously be better.
