Petr,
If you decide to use a Debian based distribution, such as Ubuntu, you likely will appreciate the install scripts we use for the OSGeo-Live project:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/

These install scripts are tested and verified every 6 months on Lubuntu, but most (all?) should work on any Ubuntu flavour.

You can customise main.sh to install just the packages you are interested in.

I've used the lot of them and some more times than not, it has come down to client requirements for which distro needs to be used.

I will ring a voice in favour of CentOS. Maybe it's really in favour of RHEL which is where I've spent quite a bit of time. And really, I think I'm in favour of using RPM. I've found myself much happier using RPM to build deployable packages for clients, including localized RPM-install databases, than I have been using .DEB deploys. It could be that I don't have the zen of Deb down yet, a complete fault of my own, but RPM has been easier, it seems, for that type of work.

That said, when I'm whipping up a light-weight sever or running things on a laptop, I'll gravitate towards one of the Debian/Ubuntu variants such as Mint, Bohdi, or raw-Debian for server stuff.

    Echoing Jo's note on Ubuntu LTS. Personally experience of Centos
    was just too painful.

    Best,

    We use Ubuntu LTS for our AWS servers. I know it wasn't part of
    the question, but we have two under very similar load, doing the
    same things, one with SSD and one without- and I would definitely
    recommend SSD.

        Never tried OpenSuse and Debian.

            Hi all,
            I need to choose one linux distro for running our
            geospatial applications on AWS. It means running mainly
            GeoServer, MapServer, MapProxy, PostGIS and so on . I
            have my hot candidate but it's always good to know others
            opinion.
            I know that it is not as simple, but please, can you just
            write your favorite one?
            The shortlist is as follow:
            OpenSuse, Centos, Ubuntu, Debian

            Thanks for your tips.
            Petr
