I’m refurbishing an old PC to work as a home server for several stuff. I’m looking for a lightweight distribution to install in it, but with a decent package repository. A small image size will be appreciated, as I have slow bandwidth too.

    Lightweight distro for a server is nonsense, IMHO. All major distros are made to work as a server (enterprise ones are made primarily for servers), so whichever one you use currently, use it. Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, whatever.

      I’m not asking for a distro made specifically for servers. I’m asking for a distro that fits what I specified in the post body. Most people here said Debian, and I’m probably going with that as it’s my daily driver anyways.

        That is in my opinion the most important one.
