I like CentOS because it is very stable. I do not like CentOS (RHEL)
because it is slow to incorporate newer software (Apache, PHP, and
MariaDB / MySql).
I like Debian. It was my first real distro. I run Mint on my
workstation.
I do not want bleeding edge - I like to sleep at night.

Debian allows for a more custom-feel for stability. There's debian
(stable, long-term support and not), debian (testing), debian

I'm, personally, an Archlinux user which is a rolling distro, so I
tend to be more bleeding edge than most people care to be. Manjaro
is an Arch derivative that is more stable, but it's also catered more
to a desktop environment.
CentOS is basically just 3 to 8 year old Fedora, so that might give
you a more familiar environment.

Why not just add the updated repositories (like EPEL)? I'd
personally stay on CentOS. They have a much slower update cycle.
They back port all security updates.
I'd personally choose Ubuntu/Debian because of all of the support on
the net (i.e. from Digital Ocean, etc).
Have you thought about using something like Cpanel to manage your
server?

Hi,
I have been on CentOS 6.x for a while. And before that it was
5.x... I support a Drupal install and CentOS just does not keep up
very well. CenOS 6.x is running PHP 5.3 which is no longer
supported. I understand RedHat maintained PHP during the O/S
life cycle. At several points that was not enough.
I'm pondering another distro that is a little more current and
still stable. This is to run Drupal on. Any suggestions? I'm
looking at Ubuntu as a potential distro.
Thanks in advance and I am not trying to start a flame war.
Keith
