What Linux distribution do you use for your server?

[Lucas]

I was just hoping to see what people tend to use for their web servers.

I've run a hosting company. 40 odd machines. All running debian

I only have my own personal servers now (moved jobs), 3 in New Zealand, 2 in the USA (dev machines in nz)
All run debian.

Standardization keeps maintenance to a minimum

 

[TerminalAddict]

In saying that, I should also add.
I run the largest English speaking mandriva forum in the world http://mandrivausers.org and recently started http://mageiausers.org ( which may or may not get big, depends on the distro)

So distros don't really both me I guess

CentOS

 

[Caelum]

Yup, CentOS.

 

[Slavik]

Centos

 

[Aaron217]

3 servers running CentOS and 1 using Ubuntu.

 

[Floris]

Ubuntu Server edition, of course.

 

[Zuko Xi]

Why are people not using Debian?!

 

[Luke F]

Fedora because I like having the the latest versions of everything and prefer rpm/yum/red hat stuff, and it's easily as stable as CentOS (3+ months uptime no problem) and can do in-place major version upgrades over ssh/vnc fairly reliably

None at all on my machines. FreeBSD all the way

If it has to be Linux, then CentOS or Debian for a server. Stability over bleeding edge any time.

FreeBSD is great for servers. I'm using now CentOS (managed ServInt VPS)

Used to have centos. Ubuntu on 5 boxes now.

Why, if you don't mind me asking? Just curious.

Nice !

I run the Vodafone systems in nz back in the 90's all running freebsd

 

[cornishman]

CentOS on my remotely hosted machines, but Fedora on the Dev machines in Office.

 

[maidos]

centos because when i first didnt know how to manage linux server alot of people recommended centos so i went with it. Years after i gradually learn how to manage a centos server on my own so when i order servers i only pick centos for that reason since thats the only server os that i can manage

 

[Lost]

I'm running Ubuntu Server Edition.

 

[Tomble]

Fedora or CentOS depending on whether I feel that stability or latest features are more important. Normally that results in server being CentOS and home machines being Fedora.

CentOS.
