Pardon my newbness here...

I have never used Linux before, however, I have inherited an Apple G5 PowerPC and I would like to turn it into a home server of sorts using Linux.

I am trying to decide my best option between Debian, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Server. I am comfortable with command line interfaces, however do not know any Linux commands as of yet.

I am after something secure, stable, easily backed up, and able to share / stream PDF's, Pictures, and Video Files with PC, Mac, and iPhone.

Most likely I will be remote controlling this "server" from my mac rather than operating it locally if that makes a difference.

Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your help!
 


Thank you! I will definitely check out that site. Seems like a lot of "closed doors" when trying to find anything to work with an old PowerMac unfortunately!
