[Gambas-user] Seeking a bit of advice here...

[adamnt42 at ...626...]

Our (read "my") favourite bistro, PCLinuxOS has now discontinued official support for 32bit.

Which leaves me in a bit of a quandary.  Most of our "back end equipment", like the file sharers, firewalls and (private) http servers are all 32-bit machines.  These have been lovingly maintained and still run like trains.  For what they do, there is no real need I can see to invest a whole lot of capital just to make them 64-bit.  

On the other hand, we do need to (be able to) use the latest stable server software. Both from a development viewpoint and as a data provider to our customers.  In particular we need "the best" database server software and the best distributed data facilities (ftp, http, nfs and the like).

There are a whole lot of other factors, obviously, but to cut the story short...

Given that our preferred "divine" system would be:
- a single distro
- lightweight desktops,
- Gambas
- postgresql 9.3+

and
- must have su/ssh/ access to all boxes.

Would you, if you have somewhat even similar needs, suggest a distro?
