What OS on your Dedicated Servers?

[NodeBytes]

I've been thinking about switching to a new OS on my dedi at WSI just to try something new.

What OS do you run on your Dedicated Servers? Why do you use that OS? Is your server in production use?

Debian.

I do have lingering Ubuntu installs out there though.

I'm mostly using debian (yeah I'm lazy) and it serves me well. (still using squeeze in 'production', wheezy on desktop&laptop etc)

However the dedi im currently setting up going to have centos because it's a requirement by cpanel (which i hate but clients need it)..

You say you want to try something new, do you mean something new as in Debian/CentOS or something like SUSE or Slackware - something that's not too common.

If your up for it you can run http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=dvl

I have CentOS 6.4 x64 on my Dedi at WSI. I run CentOS on all my VPSes as well (except one Debian one which I don't use much).

Mostly Debian, but I'm managing dedis running Ubuntu and CentOS.

Always Centos for production stuff,

Do need to get more hands on with FreeBSD though as that is used at my day job.

I get sad if I have to use anything but Debian.

 

[blergh]

freebsd & debian mostly.

 

[johng]

FreeBSD. Love it.

Years ago we had a Gentoo Node, it was fun at the time

Debian everywhere.

 

[Echelon]

FreeBSD 9.1 for a majority of my machines, Alpine for the HA Phone System, and a stripped to the core CentOS for VMs.
