Well that settles it then. I'm definitely going to have to go with Ubuntu, and, as I said before, I'm going to have to install CentOS in a virtual server so I can learn it and cpanel, simply because I see that it is one of the more popular unsupported open source servers, and lot's of people seem to be using it.
Correct me if I'm wrong. If I download the CentOS with cpanel so I can learn cpanel, and install it on my virtual server, I won't be violating any License will I?
