To LMDE3 or not to LMDE3 ... you know the quote ... I've got a project to replace an older Mac Mini with an INTEL NUC box. I am also planning on getting a new Mintbox when the new ones come out in June. The server, though, is up in the air as to what I put on it. It will run generally headless with admin via SSH and Webmin, as it will just be serving stuff it really doesn't need a GUI. I've got a Stretch VM right now that I've built in the basic configuration that I'm pretty happy with. Then I began to think about LMDE as an option.
So I have two questions: what would LMDE give me over bare Debian Stretch in this scenario and, should I wait for LMDE3 here if that is the right way to go?
The server is serving up, in no particular order: DNS, small web page, Postfix, MySQL, reverse proxy.
Thoughts?

Buy a Synology NAS. You will get the linux kernel, beautiful DSM to manage your device. Plus it will host all the apps you are currently running on your old serve.

Personally I prefer my Ubuntu server to the Synology I used to own. Something like Webmin gives you a decent web interface ala DSM.
LMDE wouldn't add anything worthwhile to a server. It's not what it's designed for after all.
