Hi all,

I plan to settle in the comimg months a web server to deliver many services to the trading community (I am myself a trader).

I daily use Arch as my system on my home box, and I must admit I am very satisfied by its strength and its very active and deep involved community. My plan is to first train building the website on a VM server, then go to a remote dedicated server.

Can you please give me some pro/against reasons for using Debian distro rather than Archlinux as a web server? Is there any provider offering Arch distro, as it seems it is hard, near impossible, to find one.

TY for your advises.
I just want to add I am just a small level over the n00b status,
let's say I am a n00b++, and learning Debian specificities can proove
to be a waste of time.


Depending on the webapps you wish to run, some of them might be very unpleased not to meet the "usual" distros. Furthermore, administrating a production Arch web server might be in my own opinion a time consuming activity (regarding the rolling release aspect). Especially if (like most of admins) you prefer to test updates on a "PreProd" server before applying them on production one. You may probably have a look on the ArchServer project.

I want the website to be first a place for trading ideas/opinions exchange, with usual stuffs as mailing list, forum,chat rooms or any kind of article publishing. I need to be easily able to publish technical analysis in image format. I want to be able to provide live feeds, quick links to ouside article. Then, I will probably enable some kind of private login, with acsess to customisable pages.Last would be to sell analysis and risk mangement software/Latex processed automated reporting.
Nothing really fancy in fact.
