What OS Do You Use?

For my vps I had no choice. I wanted a managed package from the zone folks and turns out you can have any os you want as long as it's centos. kind of crazy, doesn't make too much sense to me, I guess it's just easier to manage.

I use fedora at home and was hoping to get that, but i would have had to get a non-managed package and i'm all about offloading my grunt work to the host. :)

is there much of a difference really between the os on a dedicated server and a vps? is there stuff that comes by default on a dedi that you don't get with a vps?
 
Debian on shared plans. Actually I think in most cases it's of no difference for a shared services end-user whether it's Debian or Ubuntu.
 
CentOS x86_64 or i386 is what we usually would recommend to new customers, but really it is more based on what they are wanting to run!
 
I use Windows XP Pro for all my at home business needs. I used to have Vista Home Basic and it was a nightmare! It was so slow to load up and froze up all the time. When I switched to XP Pro I was amazed at how much better it worked.
