Hello fellow HQ HF members,

I bought a vps that should be able to do the following things;
-web hosting
-database
-php
-nodejs


-file hosting
-backup system
-ftp management
-vpn

specs:
2 cores
4.096 MB RAM
150gb SSD
5000 GB DATA
and i bought a big storage of 2TB with it.

I rarely use command line.. (always worked with windows, but its time to step to the linux side)

So i choose CentOS to be my main os (because i heard most developers use this OS and its free)

Currently i am stuck at the following decision. It is asking me to choose a Base Environment, and I do not know what i should choose! This is where you step in.

I googled some bits and bytes about it. I saw some personal recomendations to other people but I'd like to hear some tips and stuff from the guys in this community.

So tbh if i can i dont want to go PURE command line only. if it is possible for me to have a GUI that would be nice. but if its not recommended at its highest grade, I wont do it.

I was thinking of installing the: Development and Creative Workstation or the Server with GUI or the Basic Web Server.

What do you think i should install

I like Ubuntu 16.04 but Centos 6 isn't too bad.

You'll be better of installing Centos and then manually installing what you need.
