So I've dabbled a little bit with it before, but now actually have a use for it. I'd like to take a simple Linux install on a VM and put CrushFTP on it. The install looks pretty straightforward and only dependent on Java:

https://www.crushftp.com/crush9wiki/...inux%20Install

So I'm just wondering what Distro would be the easiest for a non-Linux-er to tackle. Command line seems like it is the way to go to keep it basic.

I will need to have it work with a Windows domain, as local users access it through a file share. So I'm not sure if I'll need to domain join it?

Updates are also a question...I'd rather manage it as little as possible. Do I need to worry much about keeping the OS up to date? Is that fairly easy? It will only be exposed to the internet through port 443.

Thanks!
