What about Centos? Any opinions about it ?

• htsh 17y ago
  In my experience I've seen it used in servers quite a bit, typically those running cpanel. Its very similar to RHEL but without the pay-support plans. I've helped to run a machine running it for 3-4 years now, with no real issues.

  I use it in combination with perceus to run my cluster. very smooth install, but I don't update it very often. Best thing for that sort of application, in my opinion.

  My main (headless) Linux boxes are Centos, I've been pretty happy with it.

  If you need any software that depends on relatively new libraries - forget about it. Centos is seriously behind with features. It could be useful for "standard server" though - stuff like http daemons, etc. will run just fine and will be quite stable. Not for home usage though - I don't think you'd like to run on something with kernel v2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 ;) Yup - that's kernel from 2006 with ~100 custom patches applied. Forget about any new gfx drivers or wifi.
