Am looking at putting RH on a server, as soon as I get my new house, and running it as a webserver to host my websites...
But that's a future plan, haven't had a good look at it yet, although we have a testbed machine here in work which gets used now and again, I think that's running RH9...

Paulw: Personally i think linux is a mess and theres just too much crack content involed, myself I use FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org) for all my machines at home that are serving stuff, fileserver/mailserver/backup/gateway etc, its pretty easy to get the hang of if you use linux but find it a bastard to use.
Since i've been using FreeBSD (at least 2/3 years now i think?) I wouldnt go back to redhat/any other linux distro.
