    Centos for webhosting & Debian for small vps.

  • xaitmixaitmi Member

    Centos 6

  • SadySady Member

    CentOS for production, Debian for playing with new things & personal boxes.

  • bsdguybsdguy Member

    BSD. If I must, then Debian.

  • DianTamaDianTama Member

    Ubuntu & CentOS

  • Ole_JuulOle_Juul Member

    Debian 7 32bit Minimal

  • AmplificatorAmplificator Member

    Debian or Arch depending on usage.

  • varwwwvarwww Veteran

    Debian :D

  • NeoXiDNeoXiD Member

    For really important stuff usually Debian, otherwise I'm using Fedora Server 20. I love having the newest kernel features, a great systemd experience and other goodies. Didn't do the jump to v21 yet, as OpenVZ (which I'm using for 1-2 boxes) still doesn't properly support it.

    So probably 20% Debian, 80% FS20.

  • draziloxdrazilox Member

    Debian, always.

  • IshaqIshaq Member

    I installed Fedora 21 Server a few weeks ago to play around with and I thought Cockpit was kinda cool.

    Debian.

    I've standardized all my boxes to Ubuntu. That said, my main dedi used to be Gentoo - haven't used it on a VPS though, I imagine the host wouldn't like that :D

  • xBytezxBytez Member

    Out of those 3, definitely Debian. If not, Arch Linux.

    going to switch to Ubuntu for LTS :(

  • sleddogsleddog Member

    Debian for VMs. If you're a CentOS-only shop you need to broaden your horizons :)

  • MikePTMikePT Veteran

    Debian, for sure.

    Thank you for offering, unfortunately at this point I have a bigger todo list than I can handle, so it will probably end up idling on its default setup.

    CentOS (production) and Debian (testing).

    Out of the box debian uses less ram, best to give it a try yourself.

    CentOS uses less from my experience with heavy PHP programs, Debian had higher resource usage. I think it really depends from usage to usage.
