[Lilug] Ugh, Searching for a New Distro

[Christopher Merlo]

My hope for an awesome day, installing Debian on a brand new server, was
dashed by a proprietary HP RAID driver:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/498133/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-on-hp-dynamic-smart-array-b120i-logical-drive
(It looks like I can add a driver after I've installed Ubuntu to my
unrecognized logical drive?  Not sure how this helps.

)

This is the only kind of server I have access to because public education /
county purchasing / you'll use HP and like it.  I haven't used a
non-Debian-based distro in I don't know how long, but I guess I'm going to
start.  So, what do you recommend?
