2. get another server call that your test server. on this you will try out the script before taking it to the operation server.

3. Mandrake,Redhat are best for desktop and not as a server. I would like you to try out this few distro also they are linux base.
        1. smoothwall coperate server 3.0 (www.smoothwall.net)
        2. MandrakeSecurity Multi-Network Firewall
             This software combines hot features into an easy-to-use product:
