Hi HN folks, I want suggestion/advice on which OS should I install for my web development. I bought a HP desktop with Intel quad core, 6 GB ram. I did some digging on ubuntu vs. redhat, it’s a mixed message iam getting. I want to install either redhat or ubuntu. Some background of the development platform. I need a server that can be used for my web server and prototyping of web 2.0 application Appreciate any help.

I have toying with an idea of building an application that is music and video related. This is first time iam venturing into building a product that is music and video focused. I was little worried about legal issues. So the question to HN is- •What are the issues one needs to be aware of before building product that is music or video related •Any open source web and mobile platform that I can use •Any general information that I need to be aware off.

Thanks
