sijad Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 CentOs usually use for vps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Doesn't really matter. Go with centos if you don't really have any specific preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euantor Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Personally I'm a fan of Debian - mostly because I prefer apt to yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I used to use CentOS. More specifically CentOS 5.5. Packages were so old they became largely incompatible with half of the programs I used or tried to compaile, I ended up switching to Debian right before CentOS 6's long overdue release. I don't really have a problem with CentOS, but I'm pretty grounded to using Debian as my server's operating system. Actually almost opted for trying FreeBSD a few times though.

Rhett Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Centos packages are all dependent on the repositories you are using. The current 5.x is 5.8 and there are no issues from my experience with 5.x or 6.x, however 6.x has better support for ext4 which performs much better. Centos is the most widely support OS for web servers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickRQ Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I used to debian, 6.0.6 x64 in use.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srpurdy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Right now I use CentOs 5 and 6 strictly in 64bit.. I played with pretty much all of the distro's I just like CentOs the most, but probably because it was the first distro I used and I got used to it. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
