I have to agree with Bruce ( good ones made me laugh ) I work 80+ hours a week with LARGE production systems. What I am allowed to say is ( and to drive home Bruce's point ) is that we were told NOT to support Ubuntu. With SuSE being sold it's all Red Hat aka RHEL out there and CentOS is 100% compatible ( I run my main work cluster on it ).
So for simple small scale projects, Ubuntu is great! When you start talking large "my company depends on this" systems then your in the "enterprise" level. For that I would strongly suggest CentOS since also as Bruce pointed out when you need Oracle and or say to deploy a 12 PetaByte file system using GPFS well don't call me if your using Ubuntu, I'm am forced to say "sorry suck-a" Once OEM's start recommending to deploy there software on Ubuntu, and I see the customer set migration, then I will recommend Ubuntu. But currently reality is that CentOS is one dam good enterprise platform that has been used in production for many years.
