I use CentOS on my KVM because I wanted to try it. I use Debian on the rest because it has been extremely stable and I use ubuntu 12.04 on my VPS in France because it's awesome. I also used to use Arch Linux and Gentoo.
12.04 isn't bad. i just wish they would use sysvinit or even systemd instead of voodoo and broken upstart
i'm an archlinux guy but i put debian 6 / ubuntu 12.04 on the "production" vps's
CentOS 5x because of Kloxo. :S
I was a RedHat/CentOS guy for more than 15 years, now my distro of choice is Debian. The move was prompted primarily by CentOS's inability to allow major version upgrades. I still have a mailserver on CentOS 5 and it's rock-solid, but it'll move to Debian before CentOS 5 goes end-of-life.
For a box with less than 128MB memory, Debian Just Works (tm).
I use Debian because it just runs.
Hey, that's dangerous close to a trademark infringement
Debian 6 (Squeeze) 32Bit. I was a redhat/centos fan, simplistic "yum" and lots of guide, easy use. But debian is similar, less of a memory overhead, most packages already in the sources list.
Can't think of another distro i'd rather use. It's added to pretty much every provider's list of templates.
I tend to use CentOS mostly, even on production servers.
CentOS 6 on everything except my backup storage VPS.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on everything
Debian 6 on everything. Relatively less memory overhead, awesome repos, all the previously stated reasons.
cPanel use Centos or CloudLinux if you count as distro, i know im lazy
Debian 6, because I'm familiar with it and because it works.
+1 12.04 LTS
Wow, I didn't expect so many 12.04 users... How does it compare to bare debian?
Debian 6, it fits the especific purpose of my VPS.
CentOS latest running Centminmod for Wordpress / forums, personal use and clients, because it installs MariaDB, nginx and other stuff so easily
Debian for my personal servers
Now I use Debian 6 32bit + Minstall.
And using this kind of line in my nginx configuration :
The following code will enable IPv6 access to the website, just if anyone want to use IPv6 :
And the following line will enable pretty permalinks in Wordpress :
Centos 5 +compile shit to bring up to date
Debian
FreeBSD whenever I can (ie all except OpenVZ) and for OpenVZ, Debian.
CentOS 6 (more familiar with it); or, as of a day or two ago, Debian on LEBs with less than 256MB RAM.
Debian 6 on all my VPS...it's easy to run,update,upgrade....
but debian 6 life will end in 2 years right?
@jcaleb so what? We will just dist-upgrade to debian7 then.
is that easy?
Yeah. Change sources.list, do a dist-upgrade, call it a day.
Thanks! I will PM you when debian 7 is out!
jcaleb you change your
deb sourna.link.loaalal squeeze security
todeb sourna.link.loaalal wheezy security
;']@vahe - 12.04 is more up-to-date with packages that Debian 6 for example mono-runtime or pdns-server
