Seeing the post by .unicorn in Software Support, I thought we should start something similar for Linux.
Our Linux fans: please go ahead guys... :) Personally I am still a newbie to Linux and I hope I will learn a lot in this thread and so will our other friends. As in the "Recommended Software" thread in Software Support, the first post will be the most updated list everytime. |

FTP Clients IglooFTP-PRO (eval 30 days) google for it Server pureftpd (free) google for it also i'm running those now, Igloo looks and feels really sweet! hope this helped a little ~PCTech |
Cool thread. I second cratyc's nomation of Xandros. It is REALLY a snap to install. the LAN, remote printer sets up easily. All disk drives mount automatically. My favorite distro. Version 1.1 is the latest and 2.0 is in beta. Should be an exciting release.

what about guys setuping a file server? what do you recommend?
