Which distro?

[kryppe]

Need some advice on choosing a distro for my needs. What I would like the distro to do is:

 

- ftp server

- oracle server

- file server

- prehaps web server

 

Have been fooling around with mandrake,suse and redhat / fedora. Must say that by first impression, mandrake and suse seems the easiest to use. Well, I am a nOOb [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img] but willing to use time to learn :).

 

Also in the search of an easy going distro for my desktop, basicly running office applications. For the server and desktop, I must admit that I prefer GUI for all applications.

 

Also I once saw an overview of which linux programs that is similar to some windows programs. Anyone have a link ?

 

And last, whats the best approach to linux? Any recomandations to books or other sites?

 

tia, kryppe :)
