I have a Pi and wanted to know which OS I might be best off with for setting up an Apache and email server?

 

 

 

 

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?

Linux systems are the best for such purposes. Also, check out the latest versions of ubuntu, they have no problems with multitask and work really fast (I mean alternate versions, with no DE).
