hey guys...im a complete linux nube, and just got into ubuntu! i liked it so much im thinking of scrapping everything MS at my house.

I currently have win 2k3 running as a domain controller.

does linux have a distro for server that is similar (with gui)?
i will also need it to supply dns,dhcp,ftp, etc.

i want to get better with the cmd line, but would like the gui so i can get up and running...then learn and experiment from there.

any suggestions??

TIA!

There are graphical frontends for some of those apps, but for the most part you will be required to use a console/terminal for starting/stopping, configuring, and viewing status/logs.

GProFTPD is a GTK frontend for ProFTPD. Everything can be configured via a graphical interface. I don't know of any program that will aid in configuring DNS/DHCP, though.
