Hey all, im thinking about setting up a web server with freebsd, svn and wordpress. I was just wondering what setup other people are using and why they like it?

I already use a few different sites but i want everything in 1 place on my own web server. Svn was the first code revision software i used and find it simple enough, why dont u like it and what do you use?

Using Gentoo because I can, and because it's not getting in the way for anything.

Thanks i'll have a look at trac, git and some of the others. I haven't had to merge with svn yet so i dont know how messy it gets.

On my web server I use Debian (because it's stable as a rock), with the lighttpd web server software (it doesn't chew memory like Apache does) using PHP5 in CGI mode (what else is there?). For blogging I use Wordpress (lots of plugins), for dynamic sites in general I use Drupal (really really powerful). For revision control I use git (because pcmattman said so) and Redmine (because that's what quok set up on QuokForge).

Cherokee over them both any time of day

debian is my personal favorite linux distro for servers. apache and lighttpd both work great. i've not tried nginx. lighttpd is better for older machines, but you'll never see a speed difference unless you get HEAVY traffic. generally speaking, i prefer apache, if for no other reason than the ability to use PHP as a module rather than a CGI. using a module instead also helps to close a number of security holes inherent in CGI execution.
