Continuing my discussion with @tbelldesignco from the shoutbox, I felt this is a good topic to be extended to the community.
What is your preferred OS, which is the one you use of the majority of your machines, and why?
For me, my preferred OS is CentOS and I use it on the majority of my machines. Now it is for a variety of reasons, I find it more professional than the other OS, I love it's UI (rather shell interface) and far more easy to configure and host applications on than other OS. Besides, I'm fond of the way CentOS enforces it's directory permissions (stricter than others).
People say that Ubuntu is more suitable for Linux newbies, but honestly I started with CentOS and still here. I like Debian though, compared to Ubuntu.
Package manager being a bit dated on CentOS is definitely a concern, but with a couple years of experience in Linux now I find it better to alt compile whatever I need rather than switching OS.
Would love to hear your views ... Cheers!
