One HD die with honor for trying install Linux, since that time I’m a bit afraid to test new OS.

Interesting to see *BSD apliance

 http://www.fosstools.org/ provide :

NAMP, DAMP and OAMP are the NetBSD, DragonFly BSD and OpenBSD cousins of the popular LAMP deployment (Linux+Apache+MySQL+PHP) but also provide an installation of the powerful open-source database engine PostgreSQL, SQLite, Perl, Ruby and Python. The apliances also provide the popular tools phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin for easy administration of MySQL and PostgreSQL over the web. Recent development by the NetBSD and DragonFly BSD teams have resulted in significant performance gains for these operating systems and the popular opinion is that they rival the Linux 2.6.x kernel in performance, while providing excellent stability and security out of the box. The suitability of OpenBSD for the purposes of information assurance does not need any advertising. The *BSD AMPs are available as VMware appliances. For more information, please refer to the NAMP, DAMP, and OAMP sites.
