CentOS = Red Hat
Uses YUM to install things.
Debian = Ubuntu
Uses aptitude or apt-get. I would suggest aptitude for someone who is new.
apt-get install aptitude
This will help you get started

So I'm red hat now. Hmm. Cool I guess.
Do any of you use LAMP? http://wiki.vpslink.com/HOWTO:_CentOS_5_setup_for_LAMP_and_ISPconfig
or is that Lamp stuff is mostly for peeps who don't use cpanel type apps?

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP
I would assume most everyone here uses LAMP unless the use Nginx in which case it called, LEMP
It's basically a terminology.
However your link refers to ISPconfig which is basically a control panel (ie. cPanel, Direct Admin, WebAdmin, ect...) http://www.ispconfig.org/

K I chose to replace Centos 5 with Ubuntu 11.04 for the server and I'll also be upgrading Ubuntu 10.04 on the partition on my computer to 11.04 as well. Might as well so that I can get familiar with both. Checking out these guides:

YES
I would recommend Debian or Ubuntu (in that order). A lot more easier to use, stable, uses less resources out of the box (before and after tweaking to your liking), secure, and lots of support for it.

Oh okay cool thanks bro. Someone messaged me their services so I created another thread on AdminExtra. Won't really be posting in this thread anymore because people aren't reading the thread to learn that I already have an offshore vps now.

I understood from your post that you found what you're looking for. But thought I'd impute some helpful tips and advise.

I know! I wasn't talking about you. Just saying I just got a private message a moment ago about this with a link to another host. I'm just stopping now before it gets out of control.I understood from your post that you found what you're looking for. But thought I'd impute some helpful tips and advise.

I would recommend against Ubuntu 11.04, it's not covered by their long term support. 10.04 for servers is their current long term support release. It is kept completely up to date with packages and will be supported until 2015, the next long term support release is 12.04 sometime later this year, that would be when you want to upgrade.

More information about their release cycle...for servers at least newest isn't necessarily the best for Ubuntu:

He could technically upgrade it to 11.10 and then 12.04 for the long term support, once it's released (next month I believe). Although I'd wait 2 weeks after they release 12.04 as to let them resolve any early adaptive issues after the release.

I doubt the majority here is outside the reach of US law, if that's what you're going after ..
So I will just pile up with saying 'yep' to leaseweb.com that got mentioned, and directvps.nl (SSD)

No I just want to protect my members in case they post a link and another member reports them to my host and/or the porn industry (if it's porn) RIAA (if its music) or MPAA (if it's a movie) instead of actually asking a moderator first to take it down. When member's circumvent the chain-of-command when reporting stuff that can end up getting site's taken down by their host before they even know what hit them. With an offshore host that is not bullied by the porn, music or movie industry, FBI or their ISP, there's less of a chance of non-copyright owners (vengeful members) who file dmca complaints getting your site shut down.

So basically I could upgrade it for the next LTS Ubuntu with the 11.04 I have now and do all of that with a live site? Would the site go down during the upgrade and would it keep my settings?

Most likely your VPS will have to restart at some point from the upgrade.
