What Operating System do you use on your dedicated server(s)? Why do you prefer that OS?

What platform/ what services.. you want that server to have ?

What platform/ what services.. you want that server to have ?

It is just a general question to see what people are using. I'm not looking for a server or in need of any assistance. I should have made it a poll, but it's too late now.

 

[RaviAgarwal]

ohh.. no problem.
btw, I just voted to your OS poll

Mods can we merge the double thread.
Thanks.

It's not a double thread... One thread is about what OS you use on your personal computer, and one is about what OS you use on servers. Looking at the forum topics, it seems it would not be appropriate for them to both be in the Dedicated/Colo forum.

Sorry my bad
Double Titles is just an instant reaction.

Well we use Linux Enterprise (CentOS) on our servers. We have not had any problems, but if we do, I will be sure to inform everyone here of the situation and how it was handled.

We use CentOS and Fedora on our servers, both are outstanding OS in my opinion

On my personal server, I use CentOS due to my familiarity with it. No problems at all.

I'e been using RedHat Linux 11.0 for the past 4 months. I'm getting really into it. I like the command line interface but it's difficult to learn at first.

I also think Mandrake is quite good.

FreeBSD Here .

CentOS

CentOS 4.3 Beta 1 here... Just updated... No problems and uses less that 2% of my 4 GB of RAM :thumbsup:

I really enjoy CentOS. Though I don't mind Fedora. But I am a Linux Man!

[ackoo]

[ayksolutions]

CentOS here as well.

 

[hmalekib]

FreeBSD

We use Debian but have a mix of FC and CentOS as well.

On customer boxes, it depends on the customer's taste.

Cent OS 3

We feel that FreeBSD is the most stable/secure, but Linux has more flexibility. So we prefer Red Hat Enterprise or CentOS Linux which seem to be more secure than Fedora.
