[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1025627, member: 90907"] tldr: consider documentation One of the reasons I personally chose headless Ubuntu (Server LTS) back in the days with no prior Linux experience is Ubuntu is very well documented. It is also fast to introduce new features which some consider a detriment from a stability standpoint but with our small employee base, allowing me the capacity to stay on top of things, I didn't. I am a few years not current on this however. As well as the Ubuntu forums the major hosting entities were a great source (probably better) of learning info once I sorted them out through trial and error and found who's info I always deemed reliable. At that time most offered how-tos in all the major Linux flavors for tasks such as installing and configuring OpenVpn, creating Samba shares, increasing security, and so forth. At the time (in my experience) I found DigitalOcean, Linode, Linuxize, Tecmint, LinuxBabe, LinuxHint and TecAdmin to be good sources of information with the first two being my go-tos in order and the following interchangeable.
