CentOS for Linux Servers: a cut above

0
0

It has been almost a year that we are using CentOS for all of our new servers instead of Ubuntu Server, and it is a great success! This article describes the few reasons behind our transition from Ubuntu to CentOS. Of-course, there is always something here and there but 99% of the cases are resolved easily and actually have nothing to do with CentOS. If time will permit we will transition all of our existing Linux boxes to CentOS 5.2. Oh, and yes, if you are looking for a solid Linux server distro – it is CentOS hands down.

We noticed that more and more hosting companies offer CentOS as their default distro and recently CentOS can claim at least 1% of all world supercomputers. The support that is offered for CentOS is abundant at this point and clearly targets the more advanced system administrators out there. All in all it seems like CentOS is maturing as a great distro for Linux server purposes.

If you are curious, we are using CentOS 5.2 64 bit by default with no software installed (at all). If needed we use the LAMP stack and the XEN virtualization software, all from the CentOS default repositories.

So, what is your experience with CentOS out there?
