  • Why you don't let me to choose Ubuntu! (can only see it but no radiobox to choose it)

    Servers - CentOS, Debian/Proxmox & Windows 08 R2 + 2012 R2.

    Desktop - Windows 7 Pro.

    EDIT - I voted CentOS as I probably have more active boxes running it.

    Bah CentOS, only because of CPanel?

  • n0myn0my Member

    Does CPanel only work on CentOS? Genuine question because I don't use CPanel.

  • Ubuntu: dev + production(personal)
    Debian: production(usually for migration of websites from other hosts)

  • Usually Debian or Ubuntu.

  • blackblack Member

    Debian for servers :)

  • CentOS or sometimes Debian as well.

  • Fuck you. Why don't you add Gentoo but this shitty Windows OS's noone needs (on a server). Also yes, Gentoo all the way.

    Used to be Debian, but now I'm standardizing on Ubuntu because of Chef.

    A bit harsh? Calm down. I only added what I could think of off the top of my head

    I've used Fedora, CentOS and Ubuntu (as desktop) before and found that my true love goes to Fedora (for both server and as desktop).

    On dedis: ESXi + CentOS 6.5

    On single OpenVZ or KVM VPSs : Centos 6.5

  • linux : centos , debian 7.x

  • emgemg Veteran

    Debian on three VPSs and CentOS on one VPS. Don't take this as expert advice - I use my VPSs mostly as learning tools.

    I do not understand why Ubuntu is somewhat popular as a server OS, because it is derived from Debian. Ubuntu gets more frequent updates, but wouldn't that make the server less stable? Perhaps someone can explain the reasons they prefer Ubuntu over Debian.

  • Debian, FTW! :)

    Ubuntu is like the Mac OS of Linux. I originally stepped into the Linux flavors through it, then transferred into my now native envrinment, Debian. I believe that Ubuntu is so popular because it has the most friendly UI and has the most support software-compatibility wise.
