Hello I just got full version of ClarkConnect V5.0 I think about install it on one my box's I have and setup a Ircd Hub off it. The Box is a p4 2.93Ghz with 512 DDR 160 gigHD I have I have two Os on it right now Mandriva 2009 spring and Windows 7 Ultima (Upgrade from Xp) Dual boot. Its just one my Boxs I like to test stuff out on. I like to hear from Other Irc User what there thoughts are on CC, And If there is a Better Linux Os I should try get my hands on to setup a HUB onto. Any and All Help would be great!

I'd never hear of Clarkconnect until you posted this. After a bit of research though it appears to be another linux distro based off of the Red Hat Linux Enterprise family using kernel 2.6, with their added modules/additions. Can't tell you what exactly they may or may not have changed, would have to do more digging and reading.

Different people prefer different operating systems and distros, so really the best advice would be to simply give it a try and see how well it performs and how comfortable you feel using it. I hope this is helpful.

I have openSUSE on my laptop, and Ubuntu on my Netbook. I like both of them, though I have seen a few distros I wanna give a shot I'm comfortable with the distros I use and I'm gonna stick with them.

A lot of people seem to like FreeBSD for running IRC servers so if you haven't already maybe you could give that one a shot. Slackware is another popular one for running IRC server so maybe give that one a shot too if you haven't already.

One you definitely don't want to use if you're a beginner is Gentoo, that distro makes everything a pain to install, and it takes a long time to install too.

As a ClarkConnect user myself, I find its web interface very intuitive and straightforward (rarely would one need to SSH/Console the box once setup). That said, the "Intrusion Prevention" module (I forget the exact name, but has the internal name of "snortsam") is rather, well, nazi-ish.
