Gentoo is great for development and if you only have to manage one machine, past that it becomes a pain to support.
There are a few commercial applications out there that really only support RHEL and thus Centos. But I would prefer Debian, not Ubuntu, overall for a server system. And yes, Dino has a good point, don't forget FreeBSD. It shines when you need a stable system that doesn't have all the cutting edge stuff. :wq! jason On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 4:20 PM, Jeff Lasman <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wednesday 17 February 2010 01:22:34 pm Paul Saenz wrote: > >> I am going to start working on building a database driven website, and I am >> now deciding on what >> Linux distro I want to use. > > Our webservers all use CentOS, but we do not use yum/rpm for the hosting > stack; we get that from the company from which we purchase our hosting control > panel. > > Jeff > -- > Jeff Lasman > Post Office Box 52200, Riverside, CA 92517 > Our jplists address used on lists is for list email only > Phone +1 909 266-9209, or see: "http://www.nobaloney.net/contactus.html"; > _______________________________________________ > LinuxUsers mailing list > [email protected] > http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers > _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
