Since I just installed swat sudo apt-get install swat
I forgot about checking initd,
The command doesn't fail, it just doesn't come up and I have
to do a ctrl+c to abort.

Your a brave man for using vi,

I use these servers to run my application - Windows based.
I've got enough on my plate keeping up with .NET.

So I need to be able to perform basic Linux tasks without having
to become expert.

If I use OpenSuSE, it's very easy to manage with YAST, but it's a GUI, all the
time.

I think Ubuntu would perform better, if it's set up right and I can 
go GUI with Startx.

Some books recommend X with something like Windowmaker, but I don't see those
options with Ubuntu
