At work I have to use CentOS. And CentOS 6 at that. The amount of old packages is painful.
Ubuntu servers can be upgraded in place, CentOS means reinstall every time. Also, there's a PPA for everything in Ubuntu.
Therefore for my laptop and for all personal projects, I use Ubuntu. CentOS only brings me painful memories.
- Anthony-G 10y agoYou're lucky. Until very recently, I had to work on CentOS 5 which was very frustrating. To make it more bearable, I compiled from source and installed modern versions of non-server software for personal use, e.g., Vim, GNU screen, Bash, etc. At home, I'm happy running Lubuntu on my laptop.
