My 2 cents .... CentOS server (in only one CD).
I cannot get used to Debian's admin tools (apt-get is the easiest, but I
miss the service command, chkconfig, and a long etc. on the filesystem
organization). I have installed Ubuntu and Debian in several servers
(and in my personal desktop PC), but when I found CentOS I was convinced
that it was the most familiar to me.
CentOS is fully compatible with RHEL 4 and in only one CD (the server
version), almost all the 3rd party needed software runs easily (say
Oracle, DB2 and other IBM's stuff, @Mail, etc.). Almost all rpm packages
for RHEL 4 runs without changing anything. (I'm start using rpmfind.net
again !!)
Of course I still have several TSL servers, but I'm feeling insecure to
install new servers with TSL at least until Comodo makes an official
statement regarding the present and future of TSL. I will wait this up
to the end of May, if nothing clear arrives, I will need to change our
remaining TSL servers too. We have several 2.2 and 3.0 TSL servers
installed with minimal administration needed.
I'm one of the silent TSL users since version 1.2, I'm still have some
RH 7.2 running too, and almost 10 years using RH flavored Linux distros
(in fact only RH, Trustix, Peeweelinux for an appliance project and now
CentOS).
Best regards,
Cristián.
