What Linux Distrobution would be a good fit for a web developer?

0

I'm thinking about switching to Linux (again). Mainly because miss the bash terminal.

My current server is running Ubuntu and I've used Ubuntu desktop in the past so I'm not a newbie to linux, but I don't know what distributions are available other than Slackware, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, and its relative Ubuntu.

I'm looking for:

  • stable and isn't going to die while I'm coding, or break after the second package update.
  • customizable without breaking a s**t load of packages.
  • Not bloated with all sorts of packages and pseudo packages.

If at all possible:

  • for (web) programmers
  • nice looking user interface
  • some sort of community

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try CentOS - a clone of the RedHat Enterprise Linux.
